I think theyre simply worn out although the photos show them in nice condition. I think its best to replace them now. heres the part I didnt understand.he said there are plastic and metal bearing to replace. now I dont know if he meant the option is to use a metal bearing or a plastic bearing, or I need both. at the current situation the motherboard and shipping is acceptable but adding the bearings bumps up the price. nothing is finalized but Daniel from NRC is very professional from what I see. and I think getting personal service is a huge plus. you wouldnt get this service from nikon [ATTACH]76182[/ATTACH][ATTACH]76183[/ATTACH][ATTACH]76184[/ATTACH][ATTACH]76185[/ATTACH][ATTACH]76186[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
