On the V8's I have had very little in the way of wheel bearings being reported as a problem.

Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.
From what I remember Scooter said he's never experienced a 260 wheel bearing fail on the race car
Colin Ellis #456 It'll be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end
Well i did post this somewhere about a year ago. I was getting wheel bearing noise and I got one changed and it was still noisy...took it back and they did the other which fixed it. Thats both rear wheel bearings at 45000 miles.
I wonder if my using my ZT-T as a bit of a van (carrying heavy gear to gigs on a weekly basis) has had a detrimental effect on them.

The wheel bearings are very good on the car, we have never had to change one on a 260. We did change one on the n/s rear along with a driveshaft of the 520 just as a precaution before Silverstone as that side takes a lot of punishment there was only a slight amount of play in the shaft outer joint and the bearing but both still in good condition.
