IMS replaced with roller bearing?

[Jake Raby]

Too often we are seeing shops have their opinions swayed from a profit perspective. They may not have any experience with something that they are recommending, yet they support it because its the part that helps their bottom line the most.

This is usually because it's cheap and may even be falsely advertised as "patent pending" or by stating the parts are German, when they are actually fitted with a Romanian bearing.

Too often the shop doesn't care; if something fails they just blame the part, throw up their hands and say its not their problem.

As the retrofit that we invented becomes more mainstream, thats what the industry has dealt with. Lots more motivates recommendations than just a component design, or benefit, and as a consumer you need to base things on m ore than one recommendation.
