How many miles does your Speed have? Front or rear?

I'm at 80k on my Speed and the bearings are perfectly fine. I know it's apples to oranges but my '91 Miata has 78,000 miles including about 30 track days and a dozen autocrosses on the original bearings. Based on that I'd be curious if your bearings are bad.

115k. i have a shutter and high pitched noise coming from the front left wheel. i just had the rotors, pads, struts, end link and bushing replaced.
