Default rear wheel hubs vs front

Hey I just replaced my front wheel hubs on my 2000 2wd. Do the rear hubs, or bearings usually go bad as fast? I am around 102k miles right now.

Thanks.

Default RE: rear wheel hubs vs front

no not usually. the rear axles have bearings out near the hubs/drums, but still inside the axle housing. these bearings run in an oil bath from the differential oil. as long as the seals are good, and the diff oil is full, they usually last forever. they can be changed by pulling the axles and seals out.
