OK for the crew who think it has to in print to be so -- When the 4 matic came out they re wrote the book with an ERA in an omission being the conventional car has always and will always be a re pack on the bearings during the life of the car LETS call it 60,000 miles on a re pack from the beginning of disc brakes it was less in mileage 15 or 20 dont remember having said that the 4 matic cars front bearings are sealed and only replaced as an assembly no re pack is possible soooo CALL me out on this go and ask your shop if what i have written is true or not - understand their is no forever grease in adjustable hub type front wheels, in a RWD car that uses a spindle type front end -- jz
