Just to add a thought for the wheel bearing topic:
Sitting kills bearings. Most of these cars (up in the winter blessed climates) don't move for half the year. Do that for two decades and chances are they will be crapzord.
Starting with fresh bearings, yes, proper maintenance and they should last a LONG time (like maybe.....20 years??
)
I've seen alot of FC's up here with shot to shit wheel bearings, front and rear. Most people can never tell because their exhaust drowns out the droning noise the cooked bearing will make.
No need to replace until you have play though. Even slight play. Jack up the wheel, grab at 12 and 6 oclock and pull in and out. Play? Shot bearing.
