I had such an aweful experience trying to get bearing buddies to stay on I finally just put grease caps on the hubs. I bought brand new bearing buddies 3 different times. Each time, I would get up to about 65 mph on the highway or interstate and see them rocketing down the road toward oncoming traffic. There goes another $40++! Grease caps are just a touch over $2 each so I just regrease the bearings & install new grease caps once every year to 2 years and good to go. If somebody knows a secret to make buddies stay on I'm all ears. I thought about gluing or 5200 the darn things in place.
