[Shotimes] Rear Wheel Bearings 89

[Ron Porter]

No, it won't.

Two of my four SHOs had mileage well in excess of 120K, and the reliability
of basic components did not suffer at all. My 180K '94 MTX made it out to
the CA Convention (from Detroit), and did Thunderhill, with no issues. Well,
a minor no-start issue that was cured by unplugging/replugging the four
connectors behind the radiator near the CCRM. The same with my '89. I did
multiple dragstrip and track events at Conventions up to the 182K mark when
I sold it.

It's just getting broken in at 120K!!

Well that sure is worth trying.  If it works I could get my AC fixed now and
put the bearing off till later.  Thanks!

SSSHHHHH!!!  I keep telling my wife, "The car has 120k miles, stuff is bound
to break no matter how I drive."
