Vanaguys & Vanagirls,

Everyone knows that Cyl. Head Change inteval is roughly 80,000 miles for a Wasserboxer and CV joints are good for 80-100,000 unless contaminated with dirt or salt (torn boot or lost clamps). 
With all the front wheel bearing (FWB) discusssion going on I was wondering if everyone who had replaced original front wheel bearings could report the mileage the FWB's needed replacement. This would help others to plan ahead.
