What are you talking about here? I never actually use 4WD on my TB, and only have it in AWD if it is snowing out. Also the 90K miles are 85% highway miles in 2WD, so a failing wheel bearing is only a sign of cheap quality to me. I've had many imports with no signs of failing wear items like wheel bearings and front diff. at this mileage interval. Domestics will always be second to imports... sorry.

Same here. Our imports were a nightmare of never-ending and very expensive repairs. Our domestics have never required any repairs. Ford and GM are both now recognized as being more reliable than imports.
