You are always a welcome source of humor.....

In response to your question, thanks, but no. I have a few of them already. One of which put a nice scratch on my plastic window...through a car cover no less. Perhaps it was from under the cover....who knows. If they can cause damage, they will. If my LN bearing fails, I'm sure that my cat was somehow behind it.

I was wondering for the people that go with the Retrofit how they handle the service intervals? I'm looking at a couple cars with the IMS Classic which has the 4yr/50k mile recommended service interval. Both cars are approaching the year time frame (doesn't bother me) and have about 30k miles on the bearing. Both cars have had their oil changed at least yearly and appear to be in good care.

I called LN Engineering today and they said the bearings should last longer than the interval but they like to see them changed. Many factors go into the life span of the bearing and that is the number they came up with.

The Classic has such a shorter service interval than the Classic Pro and Duel Row bearing, I guess I'm concerned and buy into the IMS fears. Just trying to wrap my head around the topic.
