Alpha1 Gen 2 Gimbal Bearing

Feels a little rough, best change it since the drive is off. Probably a can of worms but what's the general opinion? Sealed OEM or grease able jobber?

I use the oem ones (sealed)seem to last real well. Biggest issue is keeping water out. Haven’t changed a whole lot (2) of them so it’s not like I have a huge data set... just the sealed ones I’ve put in I have yet to replace ...

A lot of members here who are really good at keeping up with maintenance like the greasable gimbal bearings. However, I have not heard of many problem with the sealed bearings. (Sealed bearings are used in all kinds of vehicles, so they're nothing new.) Personally, I'd go OEM.
