rocky,
Had a set fitted to an HJ60, about 10 years ago, by Fulcrum
Suspension in Brissy.

I've never fitted them as I've had friends with them and they have collapsed causing the wheel and hub assembly to come off.
In order to get the eccentricity for adjustment the bearing is smaller and it appears that it is too small leading to premature failure.
Both failures that I've seen have been on troopies and have happened when
well laden part way through a long trip.
Funnily enough on both occasions I've had a couple of spares in my truck that I've carried for 10 years or more just in case. I've never heard of the standard bearings failing to the same point, they do wear but never collapse.

Peter,
The standard bearings will fail completely, but usually as a result of poor, or no maintenance. The larger studs fitted to tojos in later models, are not as weak as in earlier models.
