Saxo vtr failed mot on rear wheel bearing, so I got it changed, now after 3 weeks? of driving, there's play in the bearing again, what's the cause of this?

The front nearside bearing is on the way out as well, and the car is pulling to the left, with a strong shake at 60mph, would all this add up to shagged bearings in no time?

Do you have the correct bearings for the hubs and shafts fitted?otherwise you will eat bearings.

update: I may have guessed the torque setting, this has probably ruined the bearing :( and the front wasn't the wheel bearing, whoever done the nut up last didn't tighten it enough!
