Ride quality improves - arms move more freely. No additional NHV at all. I was talking more about the install. They are bonded in with industrial locktite adhesive. If the conditions are not just right and the surfaces are not super clean - the adhesive will not bond correctly and they come loose.
When I first installed mine I followed the instructions and the bond failed within a few days because I didn't use enough adhesive and the little bit that I used setup before I set the bearings in the arm. I didn't realize that it had set up - just that it got firm and it was difficult pushing the bearings into the arm.
The second time I installed them I used much more adhesive but it was over 100 degrees in my garage so that when I set them in the arms - the bond was uneven because the adhesive had set up too quickly.
The third time I did the install inside where it was air conditioned. I put the bearings in the freezer for about 20 minutes and the arms on ice. Maybe a bit overkill (but H2sport instructed me to do this) and it allowed me to use enough adhesive and slide the bearings in the arms while it was still "wet" which also allowed for a much more even distribution of the adhesive. I then let them cure for 24 hours and i've not had any problems since.
