If they are truly making noise, it’s time to replace them no matter what the mileage. 50k seems low to me, I would have figured they would go at least 100k.

Hi! On my which I took in motortrader I once encountered such a problem when the bearings on the wheels started to make some sounds, then I ran somewhere 40k it was strange for me, but then I just picked up new, better quality at my own pace of driving did not spare money and drove a lot and without problems.

If you know someone with the Arnnworx 944 rear bearing removal tool , borrow one ... it
makes the job 10 times easier.Do a search , there's also a few guys who made their own with some nifty ingenuity !
Lots of reading on the Pelican site regarding this.

Cheers
Phil
