again you are missing the point.. You have a headache you take Tylenol and no more headache you are not dealing with the root cause. Your headache will return. If you know for sure that the bearings are bad thats when you do that type of work.. who here has proved that. So replacing bearings "proactively" does not necessarily solve the root cause. Your new bearings will have the same potential of failure if you have not dealt with the root cause..
