I think I have a rear
axle bearing going out, So I have been doing some research
on the non adjustable Green bearings. Green is actually the
name of the company that makes them. They have been bought
out by another company, but still retains the Green name
.
My best source of Info is from
Dr. Differential tech article. ( who could be better??) The
early bearings are RP 400 and have a crimped on 5 hole
retainer which will not allow for any "wiggle" in
the bearing . Most axle housings , even new ones are not
perfectly straight. and between tha,t and those bearings are
inserted in the housing deeper, results in pre-loading
against the thrust block, and can lead to early bearing
failure. So-- that must be the reason for the pros and the
cons. Those bearings are still being sold by some sources
including Mopar Performance parts ( alledgedly)
Now, there is a newer style "Green" bearing, # MO
400 that is installed with a snap ring and supposedly has
taken care of the problems the older bearings (has)- had.
In the past, I have been against the use of Green bearings,
but with ease of installation, I just might give them a try.
