I had a problem years ago with a car that kept burning through front wheel bearings. The shop I was taking the car to decided to put ground straps from the spindles to the chassis. They said that static electricity from moving front wheels/bearings could create arcing that might pit the bearings and cause the premature wear.

I wonder if this may have something to do with these copper components, maybe used to disperse static electricity? Just a thought.
