Fudge. This morning I started hearing the wheel bearing I just replaced.

Less than 100 Miles since I put the new one on. I'm quite sure I torqued it well enough, what could make it go so fast?

You can't ov tq that wheel bearing. unless you crush some very thick hardened steel.
 
Chiltons called for 284Ft Lbs the Tq Wrrench I had only went up to 250 ft lbs so I torqued it to that then locked it and gave it a shitload more.

on a side note I'm leaning towards it being a warped Rotor as at real low spd <5mph I can hear it and it sounds more scrapeish. Also it doesn't get louder/quieter when turning the wheels, however the frequency/Pitch does change.
