64K miles and a few sessions on the track in my 2003 C2 and one of them is shot so replacing both just in case the other is on its last leg.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How common is it for the rear wheel bearings to break down? 64K miles and a few sessions on the track in my 2003 C2 and one of them is shot so replacing both just in case the other is on its last leg.

POST 2Original post

Wheel bearing failure usually happens whenever, really no mile specific or time judgement. Though cars that are tracked will see them wear out more frequently, since they are putting higher lateral loads on the bearings. For more information on the bearings we offer Click Here.

POST 3Original post

Not common. Generally either fail "early" or last forever. On the street. One in my Boxster failed at <100K miles. The shop replaced it. I offered to let it replace both but was told if it is not making any noise to leave it be. The replacement bearing is just fine now with 160K+ miles on it. The 3 original are fine with 268K miles on them. Up to you but my advise is to replace the noisy one and leave the quiet ones alone.

POST 4Original post

I had to replace my rear wheel bearing about a year ago (and decided to replace the front while I was at it), so I did some research back then. It seemed some cars were more prone to bearing failures than others. Akers Porsche in Seattle specifically noted that Boxster S's were very often in the shop for bearings. If you're going to do it yourself, then shell out for a Sir B90 bearing puller.

POST 5Original post

Replaced one of my front bearings at ~115k miles. I received the same advice about replacing the other side. No noise=no relacement.
