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.

Sounds like its the opposite of 986 failures. 986 bearings tend to hold up on the track better than the street right? Or is this a wives tail

Yes. The factory addressed one problem and created another one.
That's the problem with a ball bearing... There's always a compromise.

That's why I invented the IMS Solution.
