Yes, a few, BUT only one on the street.. The larger diameter bearings only fail on the track as a general consensus. This is where the larger diameter bearing, with its increased surface speed becomes a bad thing.

Unless its a track car, or sees the track as a DE car once and a while don't worry about it. Thats what time has taught us.
