No, there is no set mileage for those parts. Their life is depend on driving conditions, road conditions, temperature, vehicle load, etc.. They have to be inspected regularly and replace them when they fail. With some exceptions they usually last for 50-100K miles. If you have a chance to buy one with a grease fitting or ask your mechanic to install a fitting, I'd suggest to do that. This way you can keep them lubricated and will last longer - even longer than the OE parts. Zee
