Not important at all. Toss it out and never think about it again.

Looks in great shape for the amount of miles on your car. Did you pull the rubber seal and look at the grease?

Hell no!! I don't want it to fail! (Is that what fellow IMS'rs do? Pull the rubber?)
Was going to sell it on eBay as a single row IMS bearing, which it is. $850. 500 mile, 3-day limited lifetime warranty. Warranty void if installed by a man.

Most people open up the baring to see what kind of condition it was in.
What's your eBay user name? I would like to avoid it lol.

No. As clearly pointed out every time I mention that to some newbie, just one actually works. 
This place is just too nice to play mean to anybody.

Upon closer examination - That is the Swivel seat bearing
That is the Fat guy, mid-life crisis Porsche convertible option for guys that have a hard time getting into and out of a low sports car
I need that
