Awhile back I replaced all my front bushings with Poly from Just Suspension and was expecting to hear a little more road noise from it due to the harder material.
One day not too long after that I heard a roaring wheel bearing from the right front and thought "Damn, I better get to that pretty quick before it spins in the hub"
I pulled the wheel, brakes and hub and upon inspection of the bearings I didn't see anything real obvious like I expected.

Well, it seems as though poly bushing will make a wheel bearing noise VERY noticable going down the road.

This is the bearing and race that came out of the inner side of the disc.
The inner race of the bearing is about the same, (no pits or chipped rollers)

Man, you can catch it early with poly bushings.

No kidding, You need some corn grease or some pink runny grease for that. I thought mine were making noise, after testing the tires and having them check out I realized it was my speedometer cable, needless to say I ripped that out of my non-functional dash real quick.
 
Boy, I hope your joking about the Autozone guy! Otherwise I would have his head served on a platter!

Yea, that was a shot back at 73ABODEE (Lance)

I washed the grease out of them for a close inspection.
Valvoline hi temp disc brake bearing grease so no worries guy's. :D
