How long did it make noise before it failed?
Thanks

I had it fixed right before the last Colorado meet. The mechanic didn't do it right and it went out completely on my way back. There was no noise and no warning whatsoever.
Before the first fix, it was making a lot of noise, but it never went out. I just couldn't deal with the sound anymore.
I would say that if a bearing were to completely fail out of long-term wear and tear, it would be making a hell of a noise before hand. I say that not because I know about cars, but because I've heard other members here say the same thing. And notice how you never hear anyone complaining that their wheel bearing completely failed because they neglected to have it fixed? Maybe some mechanics here would contradict that statement, but I haven't heard anyone here complain about that.
Just a thought.
