I struggled with this. I have a '99 and was told I shouldn't worry about it. But other things I read claimed that there has been an increase in number of failures on these older models. For me, it came down to peace of mind. I love driving the car and the ability to drive it without worrying about bearing failure just adds to the enjoyment.

By the way, the bearing they took out was in perfect condition. Mine is a '99 with 85K miles on it. But I still don't regret it.
