 Recheck bearing clearance. If bearings where to tight on instalation, it will burn the bearing in a hurry.The brake rotor is already hot from normal operation, but when the bearing get hot, it adds heat to the rotor which will in turn, warp. Now it will shimmy when you brake.

 Jack up the vehicle till tire is off the ground. put one hand at 12 o'clock, the other at 6 o'clock and shake the tire. You should have very ,very little play. If there more then about an 1/8th of an inch play then the new bearing is no more. Spin the wheel, if you here noise like grinding or a faint hum, then the new bearing is no more. Going only on what you are saying, it sounds like a bearing was over torked. Replace bearing and rotor and  Adjust only to 0 clearance. I realy can't figure what else it could be without seeing it.

  Hope this helps:  chuck

Dumb Thief with Neck Tattoo Showing his...

A thief who broke into a police surveillance vehicle was arrested after officers spotted a prominent neck tattoo emblazoned with his surname and date of birth. Dim-witted Aaron Evans, 21, was filmed breaking into the Peugeot 106, which was planted in a car park, and stealing a satellite navigation device. Not only did Evans not spot the covert camera filming his every move, but he also provided police with an extreme close-up of the incriminating tattoo, which reads 'Evans 19.9.87' He was jailed for seven months today after he pleaded guilty to theft and asked for ten other offences to be taken into consideration. Magistrates in Bristol heard Evans, who cannot read or write, went to an NCP car park in the city on August 13 following an argument with his father. He broke the passenger window of the Peugeot 106 , which had been set up to catch opportunistic thieves, after spotting the Â70 sat-nav device on full display. Amused officers watched the video playback and arrested Evans on September 4. Bristol Magistrates Court heard Evans, who has a one-month-old baby, was a persistent criminal who has been in and out of prison for the past four years. Magistrate Susan Snaddon sentenced Evans, from Lockleaze, Bristol, to a total of 28 weeks in prison. She said: 'These offences are so serious only a custodial sentence is appropriate.'
