Need Advice - Wheel Bearing Noise?

[opus69]

My 2002S needed a right rear wheel bearing at just under 50K mi. Replaced them all. It did start as a roar that just got worse. I thought this a bit early at such low miles. Chevy truck just now needed front bearings at 130 K Mi. And that was after a family member hit something, bending a wheel and damaging a tie rod.

Mileage is not the only factor. Age plays a big part as does driving style, both yours and any po.
