Upper strut bearings

Planning on replacing my front suspensions bushings within the next couples weeks. Was wondering about the upper strut bearings. Whats the average lifetime of these bearings?

That's a good suggestion. I will do that. On some cars, they don't last too long. In the early 80's, I had a VW Rabbit and every year or two I found myself replacing the mounts due to wear.
