These are sealed bearings, there is no greasing them. Honestly this sounds more like
driving too long on a bad bearing. That's the only time I've seen them damage hubs or
spindles.

Many times I've seen where someone drives the same car daily over the course of a
bearing going bad the noise comes on so progressively that it's not noticed until it's
too late.
