Good point. In aluminum rod combos where the rod has plenty of cycles you would tend to think its a rod failure , BUT , a bearing failure is certainly a possibility......... with the rod getting kicked / stretched out of shape that in itself may have caused the bearing failure.......chicken or egg?
