To help out everyone...

Well I guess this thread will help everyone if people play along...

I just surpassed 70,000 miles and I found out that my rear passenger side bearing is shot. Time to replace...
I think it would be good for other 208 owners to post when their problems due to wear and tear arose and what the problem was.

So here is mine.... Running 19's (staggered), my bearings finally called it quits on me.

Whose on deck?


On another note, any aftermarket bearings recommended which would be a better replacement than stock bearings?
Thanks for the help guys.

So it would be an easy check for anyone who wants to take the time to perform this check as a preventative measure.
