8.75 it is, now i need to narrow it HELP
Virtually millions of FWD and independant front suspension 4WD vehicles use a double row ball bearing that is of the same design as the Green bearing from the factory to support the wheel hubs and I have seen them on the backs of FWD cars to. This type of bearing is designed to handle side loads by having the outer edges of the races wrap around the ball. The inner race on these bearings is two pieces so they can be pressed in from opposite sides during the assembly process.
I do not know what the difference in the axial load rating of the Green is compared to the factory tapered roller but I doubt it's 1/10 and to say generically that the Green design is inferior to a tapered roller bearing is silly.
