Brent, on most Vanagons the front wheel bearing races are pressed into the rotors so changing the bearings is convenient when changing the rotors. Not on Syncros and at least some South African 2wd models, as these have rotors that can be easily changed without involving the bearings. If you are changing the lower ball joints on your Syncro, I think that you will have the bearing housings out anyway. Given the ~200K miles on it, I would change the bearings while it is apart to save labor charges later. The bearing do wear out.
