first sign of wear (in my case) was after hard driving, you'll hear a rhythmic swishing type sound coming from the outside wheel in a turn. bearings can last 20 days or 20 years.. just gotta grease them well and keep the fronts torqued to spec (22 ft.lb). they'll need to be retorqued a few times in the first couple hundred miles as they settle in.
