I got new bearing for my trx 200sx about 3 months ago and now I think 1 is broken just on the right front wheel, whenever I turn it sounds like the the tire is crunching so it's gotta be the bearing broken in there.
I don't understand why I would need new ones again??...where they cheap bearings??...or did I not maintain them well??

Did you buy the bearing and put it in yourself? Or have it done at a shop? Either way there is the possibility that you purchased a "cheap" bearing. Unfortunantly there are "cheap" bearings available that do not last long, but the seller can make more money off the cheap ones because their cost is only about 1/3 of a good bearing, resulting in a higher mark up.

I figured out why it broke...first my steering rod has always been bent...so that made pressure on the wheel to make the bearing break...now I need a new steering rod or I have to bend it back.

One guy told me I should cut the piece out where it's bent(in the middle) and put a new piece of metal there that is the width of the rod and weld it.....Or bend it back and put a metal pipe over it so it just fits over it annd weld at each end....I think I should get a new rod instead.
