A major member of this board has had two sets of green bearings fail on his ragtop and has gone back to the factory bearings on his steet car.

I'll point this thread out and see if he chimes in.

Been doing Mopars since '84, as a line tech and gear head, never seen a factory (8.75 taper) bearing fail.

I'll politely point out that most stuff for our cars is made overseas and has poor quality control, I suspect that has more to do with the failure rate than anything.

Most people would rather take the easy route then the best route, green bearings fall into that category.
