Default Road course question: SKF hubs front and rear?

I have a dedicated c5Z for HPDE track duty. I bought a full set of 4 skf race hubs. Do all 4 corners fail equally with hard track use? I had the front left fail at Laguna seca which I’ve replaced and will replace the other front but I’m wondering if I should replace all 4 now ? Now sure if the rears experience as much failure as the fronts because the hub is more secure with the axle. Any advice would be appreciated.

The fronts take more abuse imo and that's what I've seen fail more often, curious what tires you're running up front? Also you'll get more answers on this posting in section below, hope that helps.

Thanks for the link. Currently running Hoosier A7s all around. Might go to NT01 next.

Figured you were running some sticky rubber to kill them, assume 315/30r18? NT01 would put less strain on hubs for sure, though not as fast of course.

Depends on the tire you use and if the track is clockwise or not, clockwise tracks wear out left side hubs sooner than right sides and vice versa.
