Original hub bearing longevity varies widely

Tags: #wear

Factory hub bearing durability varies significantly between cars. Some original hubs fail as early as ~42,000–85,000 km¹; one owner reports the original hub still functioning at an unusual 248,000 km². There's no clear pattern, suggesting inconsistent quality across production batches. Most owners end up replacing the hub bearing somewhere in the 40,000–85,000 km range³.
