The heat was a guess but basically if we take at face value the claim that right hand side bearings fail more often eg greater than chance or statistically significant - then we have to ask ourselves - what are the differences in design or in the way the car is driven between left and right that would account for the greater than chance failure rate?
The only things I could come up with are heat and a preponderance of turns weighting that bearing (potholes, curbs might be others).
Yeah the heat might be a very tiny tiny amount but over time it - might- have an effect. After all, if it can effect the cv joint then maybe even a tiny bit of heat is getting to the wheel bearing. degrading its grease over a long period of time. Just a guess.
Slightly related - I've noticed that the passenger's side rail, door and underbody tends to rot/rust first. We know that the A arm tends to go out on the right hand side more often but why the body? Someone explained its because that side of the car is more often exposed to salt, slush and water while going down the road. Makes sense to me.
