wheel hub bearings

[ppavuk]

Took car to the garage, found front and rear passenger side bearings gone. Replaced all 4 as assumed that driver side will go soon too. Well, 90k on the clock, too soon for bearings imho. Perhaps m suspension and 18" runflats added to this..

I agree with you about it being too soon for the bearings to wear out on the passenger side, however, I personally wouldn't miss the opportunity to blame it on my wife. Frankie

Vast majority of wheel bearings we see fail are on the nearside, front and/or rear ones. I put it down to the fact that these wheels run in more water (salty in the winter) in the gutter and rougher road surfaces than offside ones.

+1 for this argument, ,my mum a few years ago had a fiesta that was like chalk and cheese between n/s and o/s, the n/s was badly rusted up and knackered suspension but the o/s was normal for its age.
