It is NOT a wheel bearing - bearing failure is with the AXLE.
I suspect smoothie is correct that my driving style does not help the situation - I do not baby the car. I drive my cars and bikes (currently an ST1100) with gusto, and I have a rough section of road in my daily commute. I will also check the camber! (see note below why camber could be a problem)
Still, of all the cars I have owned over the years with the same driving style, I've never had to replace an axle until now, (twice!)
NOTE: this car is a limited edition HFP, one of only 200 built in Canada (2011) and has not been winter driven. It is serviced at my local Honda dealership so has met all maintenance schedules. HFP's have been lowered by 1" but the dealership insists the axle part is the same as any regular Accord coupe
