87 Carrera Rear Wheel Bearing wear picture

[steely]

This is more of an observation than a technical question. I slid a little down the slope these past few weeks - car was inspected (Penna), they told me my CV boots were torn, so I decided to replace the entire half shafts - then I moved onto the E-brakes and rear wheel bearings.
I used 2 classic threads:

A pic of the passenger side bearing is attached - you can just make out the wear. It was crunchy but never complained. I was in there and the car has 110K and had one CV rebuild under its belt.

I should mention that when completing a survey for our host, I mentioned a price change, and lo and behold none other than the CEO (Wayne) responded with a refund - on Thanksgiving day. Says a lot about his commitment, but I hope he got some family, turkey and football time in. Thanks for this site, his team, and to the authors of the threads that helped me.
Now for the pic, any comments? Wear is on in- and outboard side at bottom of picture. Inner race and bearing seemed ok.

That one has lots of life left in it.


I just replaced my 1973 when they began complaining loudly after a day at the track and I figure I had at least a few hundred more miles in them
