RE: Replacing Open with Sure-grip

["Earl H. " <earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

I totally understand how you feel. I feel that way about some 
products that work well for other people, but not for me. I know this 
is a sensitive issue, that is why I put the disclaimer in my thread. Just 
trying to show respect for everyone's personal feelings.

I have never had a Moser or Mark Williams bearing fail on me. But when 
I do, I will be glad to admit it.

Earl


I guess I'm one of the "have nots" Earl. I'll never use Green bearings again
on a street driven car. When I was changing gears on a 66 Hemi Charger I
had, I replaced a perfectly good set of stock bearings with Green bearings
on the advise of a friend who's cars spend most of their time on the track.
The Green bearings failed in less than 6,000 miles and I had to do the job
all over again with stock bearings. Below is a quote from that article on 8
3/4 rears.

Dan

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). Green Part No.
RP400.
