Personally I haven't witnessed any failures on properly maintained cars. Most where due to neglect, lack of grease and improper free play.
Im not sure how long Gaetano went on his very first set before coming to me but there was a layer of dark grease at the outer bearing. I believe it was right after the 341. If he had a season on them its doing good. So far his bearings look fine but they normally get serviced 3 times a year.
