Rick,

I just came across you post as I was searching on info on doing the bearing swap on my 2001 Limited, also with 59,700 miles. I have lurked the site a few times but only registered tonight because I'm so irritated that with only 59,000 miles we are having to replace wheel bearings. I'm early in my searching but has this been a big issue on these? I was at Mitsubishi today asking about any recalls/warranty on the bearing and got no where of course.

I bought mine about 16 months ago with 48,000 miles on it. it does need some work such as the bearing and this whining noise from the power steering from time to time. Anyway thanks for the post, it's inspirational as I'm usually a do it yourself'er and have been considering the bearing job my self, but have not come to grips with the assembly cost as of yet.
