Front Bearings

I know SVXes are known for their rear bearings, but has someone ever had problems with their front bearings. I have a noise that may be a bearing and its coming from the front. Where I work we have had Subby wagons for fleet vehicles and whenever a bearing has been replaced ( and there has been a quite a few, so don't feel isolated SVX owners) it's been a front one. Has anyone replaced a front bearing.

I've heard of a few instances of front wheel bearings needing replaced, but not enough to consider it a "problem."

Usually, when a bearing needs to be replaced, it's the Right Rear.

Or the left rear, If you drive or the other side of the road.

For all the normal people.

Isn't that the same, considering that you're driving upside down also?

Yes I considered that, you would think it would make them last longer but I 've done one of each side.

Why is that so?

Why does the moon look larger on the horizon, than when over head?

Why do females like the shower 10 degs hotter than men?

So much to understand, so little time!

Why are there settings for perma-press on your iron?

Why is there a "hand wash" cycle on your washing machine?

Why do they make wax for "no-wax" floors?

Why do I spend hour, after hour, asking silly questions like this to people I only know via this silly network?

We should have a special forum, for these important questions.
