Please post the name of the shop

Someone was clever enough not to write LNE in the part description. That way it couldn't be refuted from LN's records,
the bearing would need to be pulled to call bs on the shop's claim that the bearings were at least ceramic. Deniability!
They did write the part number, and if you google that number it appears to be the LN kit.

I purposely didn't include the name of the shop for a few reasons. As stated earlier in a quote from Buck Turgidson in Dr. Strangelove, "I'd like to wait until all the facts are in". I hastily put "LN" in the title of this thread, only to find out that it very well appears to be a knockoff cheapo bearing. Not very fair to the LN folks. I have a receipt from 4 years ago that says one was put in. I don't know if it has since been changed, or if in fact the shop put one over on the PO. If I had owned the car then and could know 100%.

I'm still mulling it over.... Right now I'm more concerned with what I need to do in order to clean everything out and getting it back on the road. I can't change the past, only deal with it.
