Those are the bearings that the other shop put in (WPC Treated OEM Bearings) that were already showing signs of wear, the other shop simply didn't do a good job all around, I was very disappointed. From oil analysis it was clear that my other ones were about to go given what I've read from what other folks here had experienced. I figured it was time to change them and I went to a shop to have it done, knowing I was able to do it myself I figured they ought to be able to complete the job as well. They did not have the required attention to detail and overall just failed to do any of it right.

Good grief, what a horror story. You did everything intelligently by doing required maintenance, and these idiots screwed it all up for you regardless. Incredible, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Nightmare, best of luck going forward. Especially on the job front, it's tough out there.
