Typical service writer BS in IMHO. I was told the other day by a service writer that the vibration my Dmax has might be cause by my mud flaps or my step rails. :R
I "check" my bearings about every 7 years or so. I just checked them about two weeks ago. They were fine and I smeared a little grease in them and called it good. I put about 3 to 5K a year on my trailer so what? A little over 20 to 25 thousand miles and I have never found them to be bad. Most of the time I just pull the hub off take a peak, adjust the brakes and put it back together.
I know you will find people on this forum that insist to do it every year. IMHO they would make great service writers. :B
If the outside tire wear is opposite of the inside tire wear I would suspect the axel out of square.
If both are wearing on the outside I suspect a bent axel.
I also suspect your dealer will try to weasel out of any warrantee work. :M
Good luck.
