> Wheel bearings on modern cars are incredibly long-lived. I don't think I've changed one in over 30 years on our family cars.
Depends on the car. I had a POS Chevy uplander and had to replace them 3 times. Angry because my Mazda was the same age, same milage and on its original set so i asked the GM mechanic why..
He told me the design. I'm going to guess the Uplander has the cheapest ones available?
But like you, I thought the same thing.. is "bearings" really a thing these days and apparently it is??
I'm never going to buy another "domestic" car again, and this whole "infotainment" mess we see here reinforces my decision.
