DB9 wheel bearings
Discussion
Incredibly unlucky to need 1 at that mileage, let alone 2. I have never seen car needing both at same time before. Whilst used / older DB9 has a list of stuff to check, wheel bearings isn't one of them.
you have been lucky that the driveshaft extracted and wasn't seized in the hub. Too often they are meaning a simple wheel bearing replacement turns into new shaft and bearing.
of course, happens tother way around when new shaft is needed (cv joint issue) and because seized in hub also needs new bearing.

I've had to replace both rear wheel bearings with only 25k miles on the clock. Is this unlucky or has anyone else had this problem?
Hi Mike,Was this done at the same time or did you finally need the second one to be done at 25k?
Did you do them yourself because it is not unknown for someone to "think" it is one particular side, replace the bearing and then find the noise is still there. If someone was doing this for you, finding they had actually done the wrong side will often mean telling you they both needed doing so they get paid for the one that was done unnecessarily.
It is often very difficult to locate the correct one just through the beginnings of a bearing rumble. Often, the bearing needs to be totally isolated to "feel" it to make the final call, and by that stage, you may as well replace it anyway.
