of how many rear wheel bearings I've gone through... my avant now needs it's right rear done, it lasted longer than the left rear by a good measure which I had done at 65k or so now I'm at 100k.

The front wheel bearings are another story, I've been through lots of them.

My '00 needed front bearings at 60K, and my wife's prior '97 needed the rears at 60K.

Interesting that this seems to be an A4 thing. A6's of the same vintage never need bearings.

kilometers that is and none since I have owned it (last 80K miles). I was beginning to think that one might be going until the wife's Honda needed one at 39K. Now I know exactly what a bad bearing sounds like.

Pretty good I guess. Next week I'll replace the left one.

I had issues until some one said to make sure that the chassis was grounded to the body. I ran a couple pieces of grounding strap from the battery ground on the body to the block (same bolt) then to the subframe and haven't had an issue since.

Don't know if that is just dumb luck or actually solved something!

Good luck!
