I know this subject has been visited before BUT what is the REAL world
consensus on the long term reliability of the tapered wheel bearing
conversion such as http://tinyurl.com/63d2bnu . Anybody that has done
the conversion and had success with it (high mileage success)? Any
failures? I have seen and experienced a spun bearing / ruined hub and want
to avoid the issue again but I also question the wisdom of changing a
"heavily factory engineered" component (engineering which far exceeds the
capabilities of the typical car owner). A catastrophic failure at speed
(low or high) of the front end is not a failure I want to experience.
Thanks
Leo
