I would like to replace mine with the stock Porsche bearing but cannot find it here in the United States. Can get it shipped from Germany, but still have to have the right tool to install it because of the internal spring design and getting it into the shaft.
why for the love of Pete would you want to use a part that has known failures?
Especially when there are several better choices available
