Odd Comment in Mopar Action..

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The use of green bearings was originally to install a spool as the spool has no floating block in it so the axle end play could be adjusted. It really was that simple, so the original intended purpose of the green bearings was for drag use. Do some circle track cars use spools? Yeah, I think some do but I'm not experienced with them.

Can green bearings be used for normal street use? Sure, are they going to last as long as the tapered all things being equal? Probably not but that could still be more than a lifetime.

For what E-berg does with that Valiant I'd use the tapered bearings as well, but I don't think that making a blanket statement like that is right.

But hey, E-bergs has opinions and is entitled to them, and he has a vehicle to espouse them to the masses.
