Just curious, how many miles do sealed rear wheel bearings generally last? |

They last until they fail. There's no real predictable mileage. |

Bearing life is closely related to bearing operation speed and load. Axle shft bearing life will be much longer when used in a light vehicle, doing low speed "around town" driving. Counter-point, fill the vehicle's trunk full of heavy stuff and "hit the highway" for some high speed travel... and axle bearing wear increases signifacantly. Bottomline, when they start to "rumble", it is time to change them. DD |

I will listen for the rumble, just installed green things in the TwIsTeR with a spool set up,  sure that stresses them in itself. I am curious my self how long will they last!! Street and strip use. I will mark the date and milage for my report. 3250lb car. No rumble after 50 miles
