RE: "Green" Axle Bearings

["Daniel McCormack" <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I replaced a perfectly good set of stock bearings with green bearings on a 66 Hemi Charger I owned because I was advised to do so when I was changing out the 4.10’s to a set of 3.23’s. The green bearings failed at around 6,000 miles and I had to replace them with stock bearings.

Cool!  Thanks Dave. That helps when it comes to which to buy.  Anyone else?

I've been running greenies on the street since 2010.  Not a ton of miles on them, but no problems so far.

It is for a street car. I have heard the argument too. You need them to install disc brakes. Guess I will learn the answer thru experience.
I replaced them for a failed stock bearing.

Ollie, is this for a strip car? I ask because there are "those" that say that the green bearings will fail in short time if used on a street car. Something to do with turning vrs straight line driving. I have not seen this, just have heard.

I just installed my first set on a 8 3/4”, 741 rear end. I went with Moser bearings vs Mopar Performance due to cost. $65 vs $120
