I think we've understood long ago that the LN bearing is a hundred times better than the OEM bearing. You'd be silly to think that they are more subject to failures than a OEM bearing. Beside, I've never read anywhere that LN guaranty @ 101% that it won't fail.

The truth is ALL mechanical parts are prone to failure. Simply because of what they are (high school physics?) or in most occasions because they were installed by a less than experienced installer.

What is it with people these days?! They think the guys at LN are magicians or just looking for a life-long warranty on their Pcars?

OP, I'm at the shop and a Chinese dude/colleague is just looking over my shoulder and saying this to you "MAN THE F&^% UP" (I teach them slang like this! there a great use of it)
