how long should the wheel bearing assemblys and serpintine belts last on a 98 honda prelude?

Answer 1

Wheel bearings last as long as the car if grease is replaced each time it gets wet by driving in deep water.

the belts last a couple years.

Answer 2

If the pulleys are in alignment and there's no oil, grease or drag on any of the accessories a belt will go well over 50,000 miles. It's advisable to inspect the driven side of the belt for checks and cracks and replace before the belt bites you when you least suspect it! Wheel bearings are very subjective. Since they are sealed and unserviceable you are at the mercy of the manufacturer.
Just think, the lowest bidder manufactured wheel bearings for your car when it was new.
I lost a right front press-in spindle wheel bearing at 42,000 miles. The same side went again at 128,000. Any unusual intermittent humming or groaning is a dead tip-off that a wheel bearing's on the way out. Buy removing the half shaft and spinning the bearing hub by hand will allow you to actually "feel" and hear a bad bearing in your hand .

Answer 3

Depends on mileage and severity of use. Should get anywhere from 2-4 yrs out of a serp belt 20,000 mile at least,wheel bearings depending on the type and severity of use and if just replaced proper installation, should last pretty much the life of the car or 100,000 miles if properly maintained. If sealed bearing should see 40,000 = out of them at least most are good 100,000 + but some models do seem harder on than some others???? manufacturers oversight....were they front wheel bearings rear??? Should still be within these

Answer 4

the belt will usually last around 80-100 k ,but there supposed to be changed more often than that,as for the wheel bearings they can go out in 50 k or last well over 200 k,it all depends on the car ,the way it has been drove,and the quality of the bearing from the factory,i have seen some of them last way over 200 k,and some not,good luck on it.

Answer 5

if you get the hub bearing assembly from autozone you get a 2yr warranty. there is no warranty on the belts. all of these parts usually last threw out the life of a car.
