Your only alternative here is the OEM style replacement Wayne has developed, but it is my understanding that he will be recommending replacing it every 30K miles, which will rapidly escalate its “cost of ownership” way outside that of the LN unit.

Regardless of the bearing materials, ceramic hybrid or steel, when the bearing starts to go, there will still be a ton of ferrous debris circulating in the engine; so the Guardian will function as designed.
Love it when the answers are spot on. Thanks JFP.
