In your previous post you asked how to check the bearing. If there is any sign of radial play the bearing should be replaced. If there is any sign of wear out of the ordinary running on the balls or the races it should be replaced. If there is any damage to the ball retainers it should be replaced. It must rotate free and not catch. Often times bearing races and balls get pitted due to corrosion from moisture in the lube. If they are pitted, replace them. It is really a visual check, all you can do. Use a strong magnifying glass. Often times I also factor in the difficulty level for future replacement as well as how much money I currently have and my end use. In the end there is always some anxiety in putting a used part back in. If it looks good and you still feel anxious about it, and you have the money, replace it. As with all things, opinions will vary as your mileage may also.
