Default Re: throw-out bearing

There was a problem with very stiff bearings from Fed-Mogul/National about 1-2 years ago. We quickly pulled our stock and hand tested them all. We ended up returning a large quantity and reordering. Had a high failure rate on the next batch. Then things rapidly improved and we haven’t seen the issue for over a year now. The company is so big that you can’t find anyone to speak with to discuss the problem, but apparently they figured out what it was and the bearings are back to normal again.
