Last night while I was out cruising in my ride suddenly I felt the steering wheel kinda lose and moving side to side and up & down. like it was going to come off

Last time it acted like this was no longer that 9 months ago where I took it to a mechanic and he replaced the upper bearing in the column and every thing went back to normal. But yesterday the problem came back again?? could the bearing go bad in less than 1 year???? Or the mechanic did a really bad job??

I neead to know if the bearing is really the problem not somthing else causeing the bearing to go bad in such short time??


I hope it is not a big job because soon I will have to do the stem valve seals and it isvery costy
