This thread prompted me to take a look at the bearing on my car since everything's apart right now. I replaced the lower bearing with an NOS unit about 15 years ago and the mileage has been minimal. I didn't look at it closely back then and just kind of popped it in. I see what you're saying! That bearing is pretty crude. I'm really surprised with the amount of play in it. I could hear the grit in the ball bearings, so I cleaned it really good and repacked it with grease. It's better now, but I'm really surprised how sloppy it is.
