We run a very similar SKF bearing on the CTS-V, ZL-1 and Z/28 and we have had very few issues with them. It was one of the parts on the Z/28 that needed no upgrades during development. One set lasted the 24 endurance run on the Z/28 and were still tight and we are still running them. The 24 hour test is a accumulated 24 hour run where we just swap brake pads and tires and run the car flat out on track for tank fills of fuel.
On Red Devil, Mayhem and Chris Smiths truck they all still have almost no backlash. They also require zero maintenance.
Over all it is one of the best parts I have ever designed.
