I have found out that the INNER wheel bearing goes out first since there are 2 bearings per wheel axle hub..
My XT's tire started wobbling i knew it was the bearing came home and took it apart the INNER wheel bearing was GONE totally dead but the outer one was totally FINE!
So i checked the other rear side bearings same conclusion! the inner bearing was on its way to being "dead"... but the outer was completely fine!
God knows how the fronts are.....
So my point here is that even if your wheels/tires look straight on no wobbling,or etc etc.. you may already have a bearing that might be dead or on its way to being dead this can result in more drive train wear since my inner bearing looked "fine" but when you tried to spin it, it was hard to spin and made clicking sounds..
so take my advice and check anyways
