Mark, no one called you a liar....   99.9% of us have never had that 
happen.....and have known people who drove their Vairs with the howl for years...

Technically a light loaded roller bearing as used in our Vairs should never 
fail from USE in such a quick time.... YOURS was DEFECTIVE!!  plain and simple!

Defective parts usually fail catastrophically!

But I'm with you....if you are a traveler....like Smitty......an American-pi 
unit is well worth the $$$....
