Well it depends how hard you drive the car. How much pressure you put on the bearing and heat taken into the bearing. If you turn a lot on a certain side during your daily driving that wears it out fasten then the others. There are multiple factors can keep going (headache). After ten years or so I would think I would change them to be safe ,but other then that is there servicable bearings aka easy to access then you can be fine the life of the car. When I check multiple cars to see for bearing issues I just do this. Shake them up and down, listen for progressivley louder noise, and possible tire wear. Easy as that nothing to it.
