8.75 axles

My bearings were in a 69 Cuda when I bought it in about 78/79. I drove that car for 5 years, then parked it. In 1999 I reinstalled that same rear end in my FormulaS, with new grease.Since then,I have put another 125,000 miles on them. For all I know they are the original 1969 bearings. In which case they might have run for over 200,000 miles.I last added grease in 2004.
Bad design? I can't agree. Messy perhaps.................
