front wheel bearings.

The priginal bearings may have failed for the same reasons, and there is no "free play" if you torque them wrong - but the wrong torque may destroy them rapidly.

Other reasons for bearing failures:

-Overload due to hitting on the outer race of the bearings
-Electric curent drawn thru the bearings (eg welding machine ground connexion made on wheel)
Bearing housing with wrong tolerances (not likely)

I am shure your bearings are mounted wrong - maybe the dealer dosent use a hydraulic press to press the bearing into the hub and maybe he put the load on the inner race etc. Make shure he knows what he is douing.

I have replaced 100+ wheelbearings on Volvo`s but newer had to replace a single on a S/V 40 - so it is not a known/common problem.
