Re: Super Stock Springs Update

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And that's exactly why I'll never use Green bearings again in a Mopar. When 
I was installing a different gear set in a 66 Hemi Charger I owned I 
replaced a perfectly good set of factory bearings with Green bearings on the 
advice of a friend (who's a drag racer). In less than 6,000 miles the one 
side was completely shot and the other side was on it's way out. I had to go 
back and replace the bearings again with a new set of stock roller bearings. 
The following is a quote from an article on Mopar 8 3/4 rear ends:

"Green Bearing Company builds a bearing kit that replaces the cone-type 
wheel bearings. These are sealed roller bearing units that do not require 
end play adjustment, however they offer no side to side support, and fail 
quickly in street applications. These are drag race bearings only (the 
manufacturer even lists them under the “Racing” segment of their catalog"

It depends on your driving habits & terrane.  They are great on a car that
does a lot of straight driving with very few curves or tight turns due to
the lack of sideways support.  But if you do a lot of turning or curves at
speed they tend to wear out quickly.  The green bearings have ball bearings
in them as opposed to tapered roller bearings that give you the sideways
support.

Anyone having problems with the Green ball bearing conversion on daily
drivers or on longer trips? That can be directly attributed to the ball
bearins themselves? There can always be cases of installation error or
another defect leading to failure...............................MO

And,  what are these “green” axle bearings I hear so often mentioned?

These kits were originally designed by the Green Bearing Company, there may
 be other manufactures out there now, but that is where the name came
from,,,,,,,,  they are a ball bearing bearing, not the tapered bearing that
was
orig. installed in our mopar rearend, when using the Green bearings you can
 eliminate the end play adjustment parts from your axle housing, as being a
ball  type there is no need to set up the endplay in the  axles
