For months now I have maintained there is a big difference in the quality of the new rear bearings verses the original ones. Today I had time to compare an original FAG (Germany)and a new SKF (Italy) bearing shells. MY conclusion is what I suspected, the new ones are NOT the same. I took pictures and measurements to document what I saw. I hope the pictures let you see the difference. Guess which one is the original German one!

The Boxster is about 800lbs heavier too. About 200 each corner. Maybe the grease vs no grease or crappy grease is the real issue?
