8 3/4 A Body Just picked up

I've had this discussion more times on web boards than I care to admit. And every time I post this opinion, I am inundated with the same argument:

"I'm running them and I haven't had any problems"

The simple fact is: Green bearings scare me!

The point you make about "rally/road racing" is exactly right. Cone bearings by nature are engineered to take the side stress of high speed turns. The bearing by design performs BETTER in turns!

The green bearing is a flat bearing and side stress weakens it. Given enough it is much more likely to fail!

The manufacturer lists it as "race only" for a good reason: If you are driving down a mountain road at 90 mph and your wheel/axle suddenly decides to divorce itself from the rear housing in the middle of a 90 degree turn.... well, lets just say there's a MAJOR liability problem for the company without the disclaimer!

If you take your car around the block a few times every now and then, fine..if you really DRIVE it..skip the green bearings and go with Mopar originals. The end play adjustment is not a huge problem.
