See the rib that is behind the fill hole that goes a little less than half way back. That is with the bearings. If that rib is not there it's a bushing and you don't want that one. Stick with the bearing type.
great info

IIRC, on v8 cars, the manual boxes have needle bearings, where the /6 cars have bronze(oilite)? bushings. how/why this got past the bean counters i don't know.

Either one will work fine for you. I go w Ehrenbergs rec of MP hi temp wheel bearing grease mixed w iirc a bit of gear lube (The combo should be in the Mopar Action archives).
Quote:1 tube of MP high temp lube 4318046, heat it in a saucepan and add 2 or 3 oz of SAE 90 gear oil, enough to make a pourable mix. From Feb 1999 Mopar Action
ebergs recipe?

Quote:Purposely left out to avoid copyright infringement. Rick gets pretty bent out of shape over that. I got a tube of it (the green stuff) but haven't got around to mixing a batch yet. I've opened boxes where the grease was too thick and was not in contact w the mating surfaces and the oil mix would take care of that
It also said something about chopped walnuts too.

I don't believe that at all. The bushing or bearing is at the other end of the case, at the sector output. Why would that little lump have any connection?
No telling what the deal was there. Plenty of variables.

It shows it has the bearings. The ones with bushings don't have that hump.

do many of the bushed boxes go bad?is there that much of a differance to be concerned about on a street car?

Show me some factory documentation that proves this to be true. And while you're at it, be sure to avoid engine blocks that have had their cores changed too many times based on that number cast into the side of the block.

Last question for now, how much lube do you put in the box?
Quote:Dont know the exact amt but I like to pretty much cover the worm/sector (after going from lock to lock) & leave a little bit of air space for expansion

I ordered one w/ beaings from a JY out west, had to be a decade or more ago. I called and complained that it was a bushed one, not what I ordered. They said send it back, will refund. No refund.
If I ever find any reason to pass through Idaho I will stop.
They claimed it came from a 318 car.

I filled mine with Mobil 460 wheel bearing grease until I couldn't put anymore in the fill hole. Then I waited a day for it to settle and did it again.

I looked at about 20 of my cores today...in parts cars and on the rack.All the A Body six bangers are smooth.V-8s and 6 B's with manual have the rib.
