The guys at RPM said I should probably change them even though car has low miles....they said cars that sit alot have a tendency to put excessive amount of wear on the bottom ball bearing and cause premature bearing failure

Dose anybody know rather the large locking nut that is on the back of the shaft is reusable or a remove and replace? I took it off so I can get to the bearings and it came off really hard. Threads look ok but not perfect...

I'm at like 200K now
I replaced the couplers, bolts, bearings and bearing slinger or whatever it's called that goes in front of the first bearing not long after I bought it at like 130K or so

Do you remember where you purchased the slinger from and or the part number. I'm having issues finding it and mine got al little damaged on removal.
