Update: After driving from Maine to the SSITP 2019 (Pocono's) over 1100 miles round trip everything is still quiet! I will grease the needle bearing again when I do my Fall oil change.
Grease zerk in axle/swingarm

Ok, I read all 7 pages of this and realized there were no dumb questions asked. So, I feel it is time for the "dumb question". I'm looking at a new 2019 in a short while. Will this problem be on the 2019s also? I have nowhere to work on my vehicle as I live in a one bedroom apartment. What do the dealers want to replace that bearing with another factory set up? I would hopefully just take it to the dealer, but I'm hoping it is not a $1000 repair.

The two bearings and the race will be around $200 plus the labor if not covered by the warranty

One of the things that some of us did who are not real handy in the 'shop' was to buy the extended warrantee. Dealers have 'room to play' with the price. 2 yr to start and if you buy the extended 3 yr that gives you 5yrs. If you going to drive this fun machine a lot might be the right way to go.

What year is yours?

I haven’t really kept up on new Slingshots. I still have mine and should be finally installing a DDM works super charger in May or June. I haven’t put a whole bunch of miles on. If I remember from last September or October maybe I rolled over 25,000. The zerk has never failed me. So do the new models still have a bearing issue?
Travis We both got hear about the same time...120,000+ miles of smiles in the seat of the Slingshot. Luigi I believe his a 2015.
