The grinding started coming back after the car (bearings?) warmed up about 5k miles ago. I've done pads/rotors/rebuilt the caliper since then without an effect so I'm pretty confident in ruling that stuff out.

7-12k street miles just seems too soon to be looking at them again.



Any experience with SKF on this platform? They're cheap enough and I don't think I want to roll the dice with OE again
ZDan pretty much described the exact symptoms I had. I did get one that started to squeal a bit under load but it had no play in it.

I would be willing to give SKF a go, they are a reputable bearing brand. Haven't ran them on my car before though.
