I think mainly because my wheel bearings looked like total crap when i took them out with the level maintained, also, when i look at the level plug to me it looks like the gear oil does not reach the bearings unless the enertia from turning a corner forces the oil to the hub. Yea i know there are thousands and thousands out there, but when i seen a few picks with them turned 180 i just thought why not. End of story.
