Thx

Sealed bearing.
Is there a certain mileage when this bearing should be replaced?
There's two fairly heavy duty sealed bearings in there. I would say at the 5,000 mile point it would be a good idea to change em out as a PM. I noticed some vibrations in my Crossfire around that point and decided to change them. Bearings were intact still but had a little play in them, new ones solved the problem and everything was nice and smooth again.
Thanks guys. I've only got 900 on mine, so I won't replace yet.
yeah your not never close to needing replacement. Check that DD though!!
5000 miles to many miles between servicing those bearings IMO. I have changed them twice on my sled that is still under 5k. The first time I changed the bearings was because the seal came out on the inner (tunnel side) bearing. Both the bearings were junk. The second time only one bearing was junk. I would check regularly and replace every 1500-2000 miles.

I got 4600 miles so far on my original brake side bearings and my driveshaft hasn't fallen out yet, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be inspected/replaced sooner though. I'm just to lazy to do it even though I know it will be much worse if they fail, and on top of that I bought a new sled last spring so the m7s kinda been tossed in the corner and forgot about.
