I've heard repeatedly that the bearings come with shipping (only) grease. I just did my rear bearings. I used Redline (red) bearing grease because I think their products are about as good as it gets.
The problem for me was to clean the old grease off and get the bearings clean before placing quality grease. Find out from someone on this site or from a good mechanic - HOW TO CLEAN OLD GREASE OFF AND DRY EFFECTIVELY?
I used a HubTamer - Quite a job. BUT, quiet now!
HAVE FUN!
P.S. I think primary reason given for failure is poor engineering (too small of a bearing). But, using shipping grease in car has certainly been mentioned numerous times. Also, overtorqueing bolts, like (long) lateral arm bolts - or even lug bolts!
