Re: Wheel bearing tech

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

They are sealed bearings that cannot be cleaned or greased. All you
can do is check for excessive side play. If the car was ever flooded
up to the bearings then they should be changed out. As Dave S says
until they get loose or noisy they should be fine. They are expensive
so don't change them unless you really need to. Just about all of us
ARE running on 20 year old bearings and we don't hear anything about
front end failures except for the cars that have rusted out or cars
that didn't have the recalls done. ( you really can squirt some grease
into them with a needle through the seal but I don't recomend it).
