Unsure, but I should call LN with the number and see what the date was Do these bearings 'wear out'?

Then you have a bit more room to inspect the bearing. You can stick your finger or a small piece of rag into the hole and see what you got. If you find oil and no metal debris, there`s not much to worry about.
Is this applicable to 99?
