To any and all owners past and present:
Do you have knowledge of a rear wheel bearing failure?
If you do, would please pass that information to me.
Any information will be appreciated, but I would really like (if available):
The number of miles on the coach and/or bearings.
How long since last serviced - miles or year.
And, of course, whatever coach specifics you can provide.
Espen's posting of a picture of rear outer bearing in the process of failing has given me hope that we can identify what needs to happen to prevent this.
If I have to change out that outer bearing every 25K, I'm good with that.
I am pretty sure that my bearings were OE, and the coach is a light 23 with 150K on it and the bearings had been repacked 18K back.
That is only one data point. Maybe if I have more, I can actually make a conclusion.
