I forgot to mention this when the subject first came up, but all good bearings
are also graded--what's known as the ABEC
number. One is for general purpose, two (maybe three) is for automotive use,
with the highest grade, precision bearings
being ABEC-7. If bearing life is an issue, going to a higher grade of the same
bearing may solve the problem.
