After closer observation I now belive that Firestone did not remove the axle, so my bearings going out was less likely to be because of them.

When Firestone installed the wheel stud, instead of removing the axle and separating the spindle and installing a new bearing they cut my heat sheild and then cut the head of the stud in half, plus chiseled away, to make room for the stud to be installed.
