Instead of a scheduled repacking, focus on regular inspection and listening for signs of trouble. If you hear any grinding, growling, or humming noises coming from the front wheels, especially when turning or braking, that's a strong indicator of failing wheel bearings and necessitates immediate attention. Also, check for play in the wheel by grabbing the top and bottom of the tire and trying to wiggle it. Excessive play means a problem.
Rather than a preventative repacking schedule, it's better to have a mechanic inspect your wheel bearings during routine maintenance or if you suspect a problem. They can assess the condition of the bearings and grease and determine if repacking or replacement is necessary. Ignoring failing bearings can lead to serious damage and potential accidents.
