If it is a slow process, then where was the lead hiding at the time of the report only 1,000 miles earlier?
I'm sure these analysis reports are not a 100% predictor but has anyone else heard of a similar situation where an analysis looked good then shortly after the bearings go bad?
I'm no proponent of these reports but I was really hoping it's a reliable way to monitor what's ahead.

Did previous owner replace pre 2011 bearings with lead free oem bearings (post 2011) ?
