last week i had both of my front hub bearing replaced. i have a 2000 TL with about 58k mi. Has anyone heard of this problem. The dealer couldn't give me an answer.......good thing it was covered.

My bearings went at 38K. The dealer said it was due to hitting a pothole too hard. That combined with the suspension mods put too much stress on them busting them. I don't truly know how vaild this is but I guess it is possible. Have you hit any potholes/bumps hard lately?

My passenger side rear bearing is going- will be replaced at 49+K under warranty. The rep at Acura told me there is a nationwide shortage of the bearings- I was told the pothole story putting the bearing out of round, causing premature wear. I was also told they are sealed and are supposed to be good for > 300K miles. My car is almost out of it's warranty, so I hope none of the other wheels have this problem, otherwise they go for ~$250 / wheel to have a mechanic do it.

One question for acuralover: Did the dealer give you a hard time because your car had > 50K on the odometer?

i had no problems.....i brought my car from them and my warranty is up at 65k

I think the damn ride is too harsh or springs are too stiff, that will increase the pressure on the hub bearings. Many years back, I lowered my Accord. Short after, both left and right bearings were humming during turns.
