[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1455686, member: 19880"] 15 year old thread resurrection. FWIW, I ran the OEM for the better part of 200,000 miles on my '07 and currently over 100,000 miles on my 2011 without any issues. Check lube and torque every couple of years and no issues with vague steering or head shake (except for a bad tire on one occasion). Others have reported head shake problems with standard bearings that were only cured with the tapered set. If it ain't broke, don't fix it but a number of people have found them to be beneficial. Adequate maintenance, of course, is necessary for either type. [/QUOTE]
