8 3/4 axels???

I don't believe much of what I read,but I know bearings very well. I have been working with them for over 20 years.If you read the technical data and failure rates of tapered and ball bearings you will find that in this application the tapered bearing is far more durable.I have discused this with my driveline guy, who has been a Mopar driveline specialist for many years, and he agrees with me. It seems I have offended some and that was not my intention. I do not wish to debate this nor do I wish to dispute the success others have had with with the green bearings. I apologize and will choose my words more carefully in the future.

No reason to apologize.

No doubt the tapered bearings are more durable. E-booger has mentioned the same thing re: durability. Yet, there are lots of greens running around, including fords, and I don't see them dead all over the place on the road with smoking rear axles from bearing failure.

If I was building a road course or roundy-round I'd run the tapered if they were right.

It all a choice we make to make our cars run.
