Backstory from the poster is that he was rear-ended and the car started knocking. He thought he somehow spun a bearing, so took it to a shop for teardown.

The shop stated they were BE bearings with ARP bolts when they examined them (but I haven't seen a pic of the bottom of the shell for confirmation)

He says he has owned the car for about 25k miles and the previous owner never mentioned the bearings were replaced. So, we can assume these bearings have at least 25k on them. I would assume it's a bit more than that if the seller didn't advertise "bearings just replaced" when he was buying the car.
