Except at some point the grease wears away in the bearing, and then what? I had my IMSB replaced at 147K, and took a good look at the bearing. The grease seals were intact, but the grease was nearly gone, leaving virtually no lubrication for the bearing.

If you are in there, you may as well replace a known failure point.

I'm really glad I replaced mine!
