Front Suspension Hub Problems of Cadillac Deville

The contact owns a 1999 Cadillac Deville. The contact was driving 35-40 mph when he heard the anti-locks brakes exhibit an unusually loud squeaking and humming sound. The contact stated that he was a certified mechanic and had experienced the failure eight months ago. The contact discovered that the failure was caused by the hub assembly, which he replaced. The contact stated that the hub assembly was in need of a second replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 71,850 and the current mileage was 72,000.

Front wheel bearings have dangerously failed prematurely two times in 113,000 miles. Failed dangerously at 60,000 and 113000 miles. This resulted in front wheel shimmy (shaking steering wheel excessively) at high speeds and at all times when braking. Felt like I was loosing brakes when braking down a hill. When car is jacked up wheel rocked back and forth about 2 inches. Seems to me that this is a common problem on gm cars that use the cartridge type of wheel hub bearing assemblies as indicated by numerous post on the internet and my personal experience as an auto mechanic.
