Actually, I believe the issue with the "bad" bearings was not the bearing
itself, but the lubricant used inside the bearing. I thought RHP admitted
their mistake, and solved the problem, years ago. Does anyone know
different ?
This is unfortunately a common problem in engineering ... you build a
successful product for many years and then one of the components is no
longer available. Generally neither is the engineer who originally selected
that component. And even if he knew why that particular component was best,
it's rarely written down. So, you do the best you can to choose something
just as good from what's available today. Then, as the saying goes,
"Sometimes you get the elevator, sometimes you get the shaft."
