axle with green bearing problems

Darthomas said

I don't like ball bearings. They fail at stupid times and do not withstand abuse or tire out of roundness. Had many fail in 7 1/4 rear ends. Give me tapered cone Timken bearings, thrust block and side adjuster any day.
They tell you when they need greasing, and long before there's damage.

I do not see a problem with using the green bearing for longevity -- they did build more than few Fords over the years with 8 and 9 inch rear axles that used a sealed roller bearing for many thousands of miles on their axles with no problems street driving or racing . so why would changing over a mopar to the same type bearing be an issue.
