How did your bearings look at 209k?

I haven't removed them yet but when I do, I'll definitely post it.

Yes info on your oil history and also your driving habits too. I'm kinda working on a theory

L4ces · 10-19-2016, 09:38 AM

As of 145K, all was well. I got my suspension refreshed and my bearings changed so I don't need to update this thread further.

Also, throttle actuators were changed. One rebuilt and the other replaced. The rebuilt one failed again. I rebuilt it again.

NOTE regarding the bearings change:
... my bearings did not fail, however they were worn to the last layer!!! According to the shop, I got all that there was to get out of those bearings and I am lucky that my crank was not damaged.

Any update on this? Was this your first set of bearings? Also local, familiar with RRT.
