New wheel bearing and still noise?

I have a 1997 2wd 2.3 liter Ford Ranger and the front passenger side wheel was making loud noise and the wheel was pulling that way and I replaced the wheel bearing and a couple days later the same side is making that noise again and and pulling that way again. It has 4 brand new tires on it and the wheels aligned.

    I hope you replaced the bearing race as well...If not, the race may have spun in the hub. I would just get a new rotor and hub assembly, and another set of bearings. Spend the extra dollar for some good grease, make sure you " pack " the bearings good.....And off you go.

    make sure your brakes are bled properly then and check your ball joints by jacking the car up and grabing the tire at the 6 and 12 oclock angles and wiggle it up and down and do the same with the 3 and 9 oclock angles. if the tire wobbles then you need new jointss

    It is possible that new bearings can go out that quickly, I would take the bearings back out and return them for warranty and inspect the spindle very closely.
