Wheel Bearings

Has anyone replaced their wheel bearing yet?

Im reading up on tracking cars...these keep coming up on inspection sheets.

Just wondering how often you track junkies replace them?

S2 wheel bearing failure is very rare.

The bearing packs/hub units are 'borrowed' from European GM models that weigh about twice as much as the Elise.

As such they are severely over-engineered for the car

Bye, Arno.
