Let me guess - you own an 01 or 02 S and it was the rt rear bearing that failed?

I, along with several others on the forum that own(ed) 01 or 02 Ss have had this problem too. My contention is Porsche used a bad batch of bearings during these yrs but I can't seem to get anyone else to agree. But don't know what good it'll do if they would.

Porsche wouldn't even cover my 01S's bearing replacement under CPO as they said this was a part that wears out so they wouldn't pay for it. Yeah it wears out, about twice as fas as it should.
