Rear is apart, replace bearings??

I have the driver side rear spindle apart to replace two busted wheel studs. 2013 C6 Coupe, 70,000 miles. I bought the car with 60k miles. My question is should I go ahead and replace the wheel bearing/sensor while it is apart? AFAIK the current unit is original OEM. Car is not tracked but it seems 70K is a good amount of miles for these. What do you think?

If the wheel & tire don't wiggle when you tug on them, and your not hearing any howling or whining, I would say "Let a sleeping dog lie".

I have 102K miles on mine, and still no issues. It's up to you if you feel you want to do it as a preventative measure.

It is all 1 assembly, so I would just replace the whole thing instead of dealing with the studs. I would do the other side at the same time or near future as well
