I too have had cars that went far longer than this without replacement, but they probably should have been replaced.
Just because you didn't have to, doesn't mean you shouldn't have.
- talldatethrow 2y agoIf a dealership's marketing says they last 100k, you can be certain they'll go 200k. They don't call them stealerships for nothing. I'm as good of a mechanic as a diy gets. I've rebuilt entire auto transmissions instead of just sticking in another unit. I've regearied rear ends (which did get interior bearings while there). I do head gaskets as favors to friends. I'm fairly certain all of my 200k+ mile vehicles have had perfectly safe and functional bearings.
- iancmceachern 2y agoWhen was the last time you had the alignment checked?
- talldatethrow 2y agoNever because I don't trust 90% of alignment jobs done by regular shops. When we lifted our 4runner I did it myself with tape measures. 40k miles later tires wearing better than most new vehicles. But are you implying that a bearing can be so bad that it throws off alignment, yet I wouldn't feel that massive play while it's going down the road??
- iancmceachern 2y agoI'm saying a lot of people wouldn't know the difference, and would just drive it until the wheels fall off.
