Before I joined this site I did a lot of reading here. I even did that before I made the final decision to purchase my '94 Z. One recurring theme that caught my attention was front end alignment specs and how people's tires varied pretty widely on how they were wearing/worn.

One guy even had welds mispositioned on his engine/suspension cradle resulting in so much movement in the suspension that setting front end alignment to specs still resulted in worn tires.

But I was wondering also about wheel bearing wear. How many of you have done any wheel bearing replacement? What maintenance do you perform up front?

It seems to me that tire wear could also come from worn bearings. Or, looking at it the other way, frontend alignment resulting in excessive tire wear could result in worn bearings.

Just curious what you guys do for the frontends of your 4th gens.

 

Oh, BTW, I understand that the front wheel bearings aren't serviceable, i.e., the front hub with bearings is replaced as an assy. I'm talking about whether anybody has had their front wheel bearings replaced/how they hold up.
