What may happen to my front wheel bearing?

i have just changed cb joint coz it had sound and sort of worn out. after just few days of the changed cb joint i found another sound. i went to mechanic he said that the wheel bearing is worn and needs changing. i am bit confused whether the cb joint while fixing, due to mechanics fault, gets worn. is there any relation between cb joint fixing and bearing worn out?

It is possible the bearing was damaged when the mechanic removed the cv axle joint but more than likely it was bad from the axle and with the new one (axle) installed it was the only noise you can hear now. Or the bearing could have been what damaged the axle joint from vibration.

if your car as quite some miles on it your wheel bearings just need to be re-greased..
It is called a CV axle or joint, It means%26quot; Constant Velocity%26quot;.

Depending on the type of %26quot; -Hub bearing-%26quot; you have. It may have been damage by the way it is disassembled and put together. You should have been told this was possible before the job was started. The repair man may also need to be replaced.....
my bet is that the %26quot;CV%26quot; joint or constant velosity joint caused the bearings to shift just enough to wear on them.



Im assuming you mean cv because I have no idea what a cb joint is
