Default Wheel Bearings?

Talked with the master tech at the dealer when I bought the car. Wheel bearings are a known weekness of the car. Most cars have tapered roller bearings, the z has dual angular contact ball bearings. He said it was probably a gas milage decision on Nissan's part. These have been know to go out early on track driving. Tell-tail sign is if you need to pump your breaks once before they feel good after hard corning. That's the rotor flexing and pushing your pads away from the rotor. First pump gets em up close again before you start breaking.
