So I think what we have here is an example of VAC bowing to public pressure and changing their marketing to match what the market demanded -- extra clearance. By VAC's own words, they are not offering extra clearance bearings. But if you look at their web site, and the comments of people on this site, you'd think VAC is offering extra clearance bearings, when in fact they're not.


Who cares? It's business. They're in the business to make money.

Either way, their bearings work...sooo I don't see the problem.

"Technically" the bearing has extra clearance. If you actually wore through the coating.
