It doesn't matter if it's "just a bearing." Seal degradation seems to be the root cause of IMS bearing failures. So if you buy a sealed bearing from a reputable supplier and install it, you still face the same problem - inadequate lubrication if the seal degrades. The LN Retrofit bearing addresses this failure mode by providing an unsealed unit that is lubricated adequately by splash oil.
