I got excited for a second and had to think about it.

If the point of contact of slave cylinder actuator on the fork is not on the same plane as the center pivot, it will cause a small moment or angular rotation causing one arm of the fork to be either pushing out or in more than the other causing uneven loading on the TOB. I believe this is what @
Tcoat is mentioning about.
I read folks in the Subaru WRX forum complaining about whining noise within 700 miles. Id think that would be too short of a time to cause issues unless the grease itself is solidified and leaving some balls exposed to contact.
I was talking to a buddy of mine who has lots of experience with bearings and he said it could be due to clearances of the bearing when cold and as it warms up there is less clearance between the races and balls causing the noise to go away.
