The unlucky 1%

The LN ceramic bearing was designed with the cooperation of a bearing engineer who did predictive modeling. That engineer was retired from the bearing manufacture you probably think of first. He was also a Porsche owner.

Those materials and method of lubrication have now been installed over 12k times. I was initially skeptical of the testing done but time and miles have proven their design better than their initial cautious estimates and marketing materials.

So the statement on youtube that ceramic balls degrade their races is perhaps marketing hype? And just out of curiosity , anyone know how the electronic monitor works? Perhaps a noise sensor. We know how loud a failing wheel bearing gets. Thanks for the feedback.

The person that made that video had and axe to grind as he sells a competing product that claims the ceramic hybrid bearing is unnecessary. There are thousands of ceramic hybrids on the roads, we have dozens of customers running them, and none of them have failed or shown any signs of the supposed claims. made in that video. But you make up your own mind.
