Default Front Wheel Bearings Replacement: Mileage

I replaced my original front bearings at approx. 70k miles. Now, at 118k miles, they are in need of replacement, again. Majority of miles are from freeway driving.



For those that have replaced your front wheel bearings, how many miles did you get from them? Also, what type of driving do you do?

What brand bearings did you replace them with? OEM?

The online OEM parts dealers do push these bearings at their website. I believe it is a more common replacement part than we perceive.

I am happy for those that were able to get 100k plus out of these bearings.
