Sure will, plus it will make the bearing go alot sooner than it normally would.

I my almost certain you already committed some damage. You should never final torque double cone wheel bearings and drive the car or truck. I think you confused pre-load and the word back off.
We always clean the bearings with out spinning them, let them air dry, repack with high temperature wheel bearing grease and assemble. Snug the slotted nut with a socket wrench while hand spinning the wheel. As soon as the wheel becomes the least bit difficult to hand spin, back off the slotted nut only enough to install the cotter key. Install the grease cup.
That's pretty much it!

you just drive all the wheel grease out, burning out the bearings and seizing the car up on the road.
They are never torqued.
Could be from there, could also be the tire tread.

Yes, of course on most cars. Only a hand full were set up to be tightly torqued, like some of the earlier Dodge 4x4 trucks.

It will wear out the bearings causing premature failure.It can cause vibration.
