I'd love to drop the topic, but your raised some points that need discussion. LOL

As stated, the failure rates for certain years and bearing types is much higher than anyone really knows. I based my decision to repair on the feedback from the pros who are in the industry; 2 or 3 indy's, Woody, Jake, Pedro, etc.

For my model year 2004 BSSE, the failure rate is reputed to be about 30%! Geez, that is not in the same league as a plane crash or a shark bite, whatever that number is. That really get's your attention and we really owe it to new owners of the Box to let them know the true picture. Porsche certainly is not.
