Default Optra wheel bearings

Anyone experience this? My 2004 Optra hit 59'000km in October, front right wheel bearing had to be replaced, 500km later the front left wheel bearing had to be replaced, now with both bearings replaced I hear a type of wheel noise from the front, are replacement bearings of a different type than factory installed? Noise is like a clclic rotational noise that increases with speed, I'll do some off-line checking as well

Did some searching, tires were also rotated, could be road noise from the tires, will monitor for a few weeks.

Well here's a review of my story, bearing noise from the front, front left bearing replaced, no noise for awhile then noise returns, front right bearing replaced, noise goes away for two weeks. Today...IT'S BACK. Returning to the dealer next week.

I'm noticing most problems seem to be enhanced by the dealers. The problems not fixed, so its the cars fault fornot being fixed the first time. Seems most delaers don't do alot of zuki repairs and tend to not know the car
