My '07 CR-V has 135K miles on it, and the front wheel bearings are shot and being replaced today. I was surprised that they only lasted 135K miles, but I don't know what the expected life span of wheel bearings are. Does 8 years/135K miles seem normal or premature ?

 

sounds a little short on life. have you driven this vehicle in deep water or live near the ocean, or park near the curb where the water was above the axle line?

 

I live about 10 miles from the Atlantic Ocean in Central Florida. The car has always been garaged overnight except when traveling , never has gone through or been exposed to deep water, nor has it seen snow or any significant winter road travel.

 

Did the mechanic find anything unsual to cause the bearing to go out.
