If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

If you don't get it wet they last ages.
Any water even from a light shower will seep through the dust seal and lie in the bottom of the swivel housing. We use marine grease on the bearings in a desperate attempt to resist the water but it is a war we can't win.
Off roading through muddy water pretty much kills them straight away.
Some of the guys on here can change the swivel bearings in a couple of hours, including a teabreak, it is fairly easy
