[QUOTE="TroyV, post: 10460304, member: 28469"] I would replace them in April of every year whether they needed it or not as part of normal maintenance. At least one would always be burnt. I have used the Timkens and Koyos supplied by Ford. None ever lasted as long as the original, which on my Cobra were Timkens of the same part number. I'm guessing that you are getting faster, and putting more overall stress on the car than before. The burn rate on consumables will always get higher as you get faster. The other thing that will affect the burn rate on front hubs is the brakes.. If you are not ducting them properly, or are over working them, they will cook that grease in the hubs easily....over time it breaks down and the bearings start to crunch up the races. Sticky tires also has an affect. I think I probably burned up 6 left front hubs in four years. [/QUOTE]
