Wheel bearings

It sounds like good mileage to me Rocket Scientist. I lost my rear bearing on my Harley Fatboy at around 7000 miles. I was driving back from an all day ride and the bike just didn't fell quite right. Most people wouldn't have even noticed. Trailered it to the dealer just to be on the safe side and there was a small about of grease making its way out of the rear seal. When they replaced bearing and seal they discovered it had also damaged the $500 rim as well. Fortunately, I had purchased an extended warranty that included the tires and rims. All covered under warranty including a new front tire that was an older style prone to some cupping. $50 deductible and I was out the door.

I've driven several cars past 200,000 miles and I can't remember the last time I changed a wheel bearing. My current car has 203,000. 340 horsepower and 390 ft lbs. of torque. ALL bearings still hanging in there.

Apparently batteries and bearings last a long time with you. You lead a charmed life.
