Shop says I need new hubs?

[ROSSO Z]

They say they are clicking excessively.

Is this common after 10 years and 65K with some track time?

Opinions?

What exactly are you referring to? Wheel bearings?

[ROSSO Z]

jub..., Thanks for the reply...

I believe they are referring to the rear wheel hub and bearing assembly.

I have no idea myself, but from looking at the picture on the box (ebay) it appears the entire assembly must be changed. It does not look like the bearing alone is accessible.

Do I have it wrong or what?

Cheers,

I know what you're talking about now. It's the bearing and hub assembly. I'm pretty sure that is correct, about 99%.

Just looked up to be sure. Listed as #42. That comes as an assembly I presume due to having the speed sensor.

The hubs fail more frequently doing road course duty. DOT R and/or slicks make it worse. Spinning with track tires supposedly damages them faster.

The stock hubs aren't that great. You might consider SKF. They are very durable and the same part number works on all 4 corners so you can keep a spare around, but they cost twice as much as Autozone replacements. The stock ones have a different front/rear part number, so you need to have 2 different spares.

Replacement isn't a bad job. You can do it during the lunch break in the paddock
