wheel bearings expected life and replacement recommendations.

2005 convertible 60k miles driven modestly all its life but suspect needs new wheel bearing/s at rear.

(1)  Should the bearings last longer and when miles did you have to renew? 

(2) autodoc choices have huge price differences but assume you gets wot u pay for? 

 (3) Moog seems a good make but can I do better on quality/price?

There is no set mileage for bearing failure.

 

Also, the bearings are not a serviceable item, so they get replaced when they begin to fail.

 

Below is what I use in the shop all the time and what I sell on the forums etc.

 

Just drop me a PM if I can help further:

 

All in stock and good to go same/next day

Replaced two years ago using ones from zmanalex - had to get a shop to press the bearings on and pull the old off but they're working really well. Replacing the fronts at the moment.

Cheers Al. I see you also have a Stag as did I which was in my ownership for 33.5 years. The 350 replaced it in 2011 both as 2nd cars.
