I replaced passenger side hub bearing at 76,000 miles. I am at 103550 miles and about to due front brakes. Should I replace the driver side while am at it?
 






I would. Yes.

Get good parts... Timken bearings seem to last well.

Good parts are inexpensive compared to roadside troubles.

Good luck!
 






I got it done. Used a SKF hub bearing just like I did before. Noticed the original is a Timken, made in the USA. If the passenger side was that, then that was not good of Timken. Hard to know how much longer that would of lasted on the driver side.
