There is a video on you tube "Porsche Boxster wheel bearings" where the mechanic is having trouble with Boxster front wheel bearings failing. He shows the old bearing with a chewed up race and overheated ball bearings. He opens a new FAG bearing and removes the grease seal. Takes the bearing apart and only half the bearing is packed with grease! The other side is dry! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
These are similar to the bearings we use in the rear trailing arms. So to go through all the work to replace the rear wheel bearings, only to have them fail because they forgot to pack them properly with grease. Scary! |
