I keep having to change wheel bearing about every two years. Do I need to go back with Chevrolet parts?

Hello, I am Danny.

Yes, AC-Delco are quality replacements. It could be possible the person who replaced might have installed them too loose/tight. Always apply grease and re-pack using a lot of quality wheel bearing grease. I have attached a link showing what is involved. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
