You are way, way overthinking this. We have customers that put less the 1K miles on their cars every year, and those cars are LN equipped; none have ever had a problem. Other customers with LN bearings average over 35K a year, with the exact same results. The system works, exactly the way it is designed to work.

You are right,I do overthink sometimes,lol!! What I still cant do understand is why LN life their bearings at only 4&6 years respectively for the single and double row,or 50k and 75k miles.
Since many cars have done much more than that on the original bearings and their bearings are proven to be much stronger I would have thought they'd have a longer life
