Whilst some PPS stuff is absolute rubbish the prop bearings are not too bad. I am over 10,000 miles on my one with a good amount of towing in that. Also fitted one to my dads 960 limo trying to cure a vibration issue. That now has 5-6000 miles on it.
Whilst you can not have confidence in any new rubber part these prop bearing are not typically a big issue for such premature failure. They never last forever as the originals do not have a huge life

Doing that is only going to make the prop vibration issues 900's suffer from even worse
