I saw this and what they are talking about is the type of wheel bearings used in
914 rear. Re-greasing new sealed bearings if racing with them When we buy FAG or SKF bearings for $40 to $80, are they cheaping out on the grease used within? |

Makes sense to me, the grease installed is spec'd out for general purpose use.
What is really different than your front wheel bearings that you have to grease yourself? I'm sure people with race cars spend a few more dollars on higher quality grease for their unsealed front wheel bearings instead of using cheaper general purpose grease. When I use to order special spindle bearings used in Semiconductor processing equipment we had the option for different grease or oil (in simple terms, grease is really oil with a thickening agent, grease offers more resistance or drag over oil) |
