I first heard the front left on the great ocean road and made it back to Perth without any problems, in fact the bearing wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be when I took it off. Clearly rattlely but looked along way from completely disintergrating. I've had all of them changed out.
Front left at 110kK's
Front right at 180 K
both rears at 210K
front left at 287K
and I would have done hundreds of K's minimum on all of them after the first sign of trouble before changing them out.

Jesus. 260k km and never changed one however mostly on road km. I’m sure corrugations impact it massively.

And no sooner do I say the above I notice the front right is gone. Ordered two Timkin from the UK as shipping is so much for one alone, might as well get two and change both. 265,000km.

Can I ask who you got them from?
I'm looking at craddocks - only because I used them in my Series days!

I used Advanced Factors. They have a kit which includes the hub, main nut and four hub retaining bolts. Great price, until you add shipping, then it’s an ok price. Still, at least you get them quicker than compared to the east coast.

From memory i got mine from lrdirect for a total cost of about $500 shipped (or maybe it was $250, I cant quite remember).

Similar price to advanced. I chucked in a couple of service items to get better value from the shipping expense.
