recently my rear wheel bearing gone case aly sad.gif car mileage just hit 78k..

I am comparing my car to another car of mine (ISwara 1995) which only change its bearing once in a long time. BUt one thing to note that in my FL, I use to ferry 2-3 passenger in the back seat.

May I know why the bearing of my FL worn off so fast? And I notice that every time I fetch 1 or 2 person in the back seat, the car backside sink down quite obvious as if having a heavy asss hahaha

How gone case? Mine rear bearing jammed due to oil seal broken only, i changed during 90k service.
Anyway, FL/BLM rear spring/absorber is softer, thats why sink when fetch >1 ppl @ behind, but it shouldn't be a reason why your bearing gone faster.

No need to compare one.
My FL just changed the rear wheel bearing also.
My car mileage is only 30k km.

How much you change bro, free? I ask my hometown mechanic he say normally if always carry heavy weight behind, the rear bearing will damage faster. Dont know how true.

By the way, is there any way to counter the car back-asss sinking problem?

saga (compact class) got carry weight limit. If over weight will increase wear & tear.
use harder coil spring rate can solve rear sinking (dive), rite?

Will it sacrifice comfort after changing to harder spring rate? I heard FLX has over come this rear sinking problem, can we use the spring in FLX for FL , is it the same?

Many thanks.
