Rear bearings, green vs timken

Here we go again, LOL

Actually, there are seals to worry about with green bearings......they are integral with the bearing, and if they allow the diff lube into the bearing they could possibly lead to a premature failure of the bearing.

Honestly, it takes all of about ten minutes to set up the end play in tapered rollers, the argument the green bearings are easier to install does not fly, at least with me.

My opinion....and only my opinion......if you are a dedicated drag racer and change the pumpkin often to suit different tracks I can see using green bearings.

If it is a street car, stick with tapered rollers. They are simple. They work. The rear end was designed to use them. They last for 40 plus years with a little grease every now and then.

My 2 cents
