I have an '04 Mazda 3 with 72,000 miles. Both front bearings are shot. Anybody have this problem yet? Bearings should last longer than this!

Probably not since his car is out of warranty. Unless he bought an extended warranty?

Try this link:

Or, use the other link and go to the TSB section for the Mazda 3. Then move the slider on the right side of the screen and go a little past 3/4 of the way down. Look for the phrase "GRINDING NOISE FROM FRONT WHEELS."

That should do it!
