It concerned me because it was almost like the bearings had spun in the rod, but there is no evidence of that. The backside of the bearing halves are unscored. I'm just used to having to take two thumbs and push the bearing halves into place in the rod. I guess when it is torqued down it will be a tight fit? It's evidently been that way for two years now. They are Federal Mogul bearings.
