Default Rear Axle Bearings

08 GT 260,000 miles. Recently changed my front hubs just because of the mileage. I change the rear end fluid as scheduled and have had to replace one seal, but what about the axle bearings?

Not a bad idea, considering the miles that are on it. I'd start by checking the pinion. Consider an overhaul it if it has any in/out play (it's normal to have some rotational play).
