yes Mike , i replaced it because it´s a known issue , soon or later it will
fail. to prevent the sooner fail you could open it and put grease to help.
especially if you ride wet trails!!
the bearings are standard, but i had to do another dogbone to fit the bearing
inside. between the axles it got 1,5 mm bigger than the original. i´d also
made new axles with steel to hold the bearings because i think the original
ones wouldn´t be strong enough.
hope i helped! good rides!
