MrG 3 Posted February 12, 2010 when is the best time to replace these on a car used for track work? Should they be done anually or at certain mileage periods? My mates front bearing failed big time at Cadwell last year so its got me thinking. Thanks all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,536 Posted February 12, 2010 Remember it is a bit different on a 205- the CV joint clamps the bearing together, so unless the CV shaft breaks, it is unlikey that the wheel can get out like it did to your mate. Personally I'd just give the car a good once over and spanner check before each trackday, checking for any play or roughness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish210 20 Posted February 12, 2010 Same as on the road really, just replac ethem when they start to grumble. The noise will be more prominent on a track anyway as the surface is normaly smoother so it's easier to listen out for any iregularities and the higher loads will make the noise louder.
