Has anyone had problems with rear wheel bearings? My S has only 49K miles and has a bad rear bearing that will cost me $800 to replace. The Porsche dealer rep said that failed wheel bearings were not uncommon on Boxsters. At $800 a pop, that is bad news for those of us who own one. I owned more than twenty cars in my life and have NEVER had a wheel bearing fail.
