62k miles sure seems a little premature for hub assy. replacements...

My Festy is primarily my ride to work. Seldom sees over 50 mph and I drive like an old man....hell, I am an old man. I've gotten 48 mpg and a low of 44. But first click on the gas nozzle on fill-ups more often than not is 47 mpg.

Yeah....125K is about the normal life expectancy of a hub, but crap happens. The Jimmy routinely pulls a couple of 5,000 lb trailers but that shouldn't have any bearing. Maybe it was late Friday afternoon and someone spilled their CC & Coke in the bearings during assembly.
