One point everyone seems to overlook is that while we have changed a lot of these bearings, with vehicle mileage ranging from less than 10K to well over 100K, we are yet to remove one that still had the factory grease in it. This means that all of the bearings were at least in the first stage of failure, or more. Perhaps the bearings were still tight and turned without obvious problems, but with the grease gone, it is only a matter of time; they were all “on the way”.............
