A while back, I changed my front passenger wheel hub at about 70k miles. The bearings were bad and caused a scraping sound. This past weekend, I changed my front driver side wheel hub at about 90k miles. This time, the bad bearings caused a "ticking" sound. I find it peculiar to have to replace both front wheel hubs before 100k miles. I've had a C5 Corvette Z06 and E46 M3 both reach about 160k miles without ever having any wheel hub/bearing problems.

I'm curious: has anyone else here had to replace wheel hubs on the RC? If so, at what mileage and what suspension mods?

P.S. My car has been lowered on Tanabe NF210 springs since about 50k miles and has had H&R TRAK+ wheel spacers since about 70k miles (15mm front, 20mm rear).

 

My guess is that the wheel spacers added additional stress and cause the wheel bearings to prematurely wear out.
