Default Mean Time to Failure

As I reading through my aircraft logs, I noticed several replacements of
the Directional Gyro and Turn Coordinator. The plane is a 1978 Piper
Turbo Arrow 3. Is is normal to need to replace these things every 4-5
years?

Does anyone keep statistics or even projections for the mean time
between failures on airplane parts? It sure would be useful to know.
One would think the manufacturers would publish such information.
