Message Do you see any oil leaking from the shaft area?

On the ebay upper arms. If you didn't tighten them before install, the parts that the bearings press in to, are threaded into the center piece making the "T". They will work loose if they're not tightened. Also, the spacers between the bearings are a bad design. When tightening the bolts at install, if not careful or knowledgable of the condition, you will over tighten the bolts, side-loading the bearings, and cause premature failure. You can get new bearings from mcmaster.com

I did a write-up n the how-to section at 3zc on fixing these problems. I list the bearing parts numbers that you can buy, both for shielded or sealed bearings.
