113,000 miles. Not sure if they are original or not.
I have researched the WBI bearings. It appears that only the rear hubs are available. Do you know otherwise?

Sorry, no.

But I would recommend them for the rears. It seems like the standard ball bearing types can't take abuse.

Mine see some abuse.
