Anyone have any thoughts?
Adger,

Sealed axle bearings are used in many applications. FWD cars and late model cars with struts have sealed bearings that last for a long time. Non sealed bearings require additional lubrication just like in rear axles. What I have done in the past with sealed bearings is to pop out the seals, wash out the grease and replace the the original grease with a high end synthetic grease and put back the seals.
