Pedros Techno DOF IMS fix?

[Jake Raby]

I'm not sure I would worry about the size/strength of the bearing in MY 06-08 cars. The 6305 bearing in those cars is a monster compared to the single row 6204 in MY 01-05 cars.

If lubrication really is the problem, then why would bearing size even matter?

Great question...

In theory the answer could be that it takes bit longer for friction to destroy a bigger bearing just like it takes a saw a few more strokes to cut through a few more millimeters of wood. In practice, it doesn't matter unless the actual failure mechanism is related to load bearing capacity.

If lubrication really is the problem, bearing size wouldn't matter. But the failure figures of the dual row versus single row IMS bearing from the class action lawsuit tell a different story.
