Any BEARING on this ?

At 55K miles, my BUICK is finally ready for disk-brake pads.



A friend suggests that it's a good practice to have the front wheel bearings re-packed every time the brake pads are replaced.



????



Aren't wheel bearings ( like ball joints ) "packed for life" ??

Maybe. Since you did not tell us the year, we cannot say one way or the other.

If its a 1986 or newer front wheel drive Buick they use sealed bearing hubs. No service required.

Good Luck.
