Every 30k at a minimum. There is an inboard and an outboard bearing ride on a spindle. Fresh grease and a new seal every 30k keeps them happy. In a rear FF, it's exactly the same arrangement as a front, but the adjuster nuts are totally different.

At your miles, it's probably time to replace the bearings when you do the rebuild. The best deal is the Timkins at AutoZone, or at least it used to be. Marlin also has a good price on the Koyo bearings.
