I run them with my 489 with the thrust block in place
first set went 9 yrs,2nd set in 2yrs now and with out the inner axle seals ths go round..no leaks and have had them out a time or two
the o-ring is sealing fine
with the seals its double protection against leaks though
got my greens from the doc
he has the best deal on them

Quote:Why do you want them. The tapered bearing is superior. If it were mine and not running a spool it would be a no brainer to keep the tapered bearings and clean, repack them, and set the bearing/axle end play. Not a big job and it isn't something that you do daily. Once it is done it will/should last the life of the car.

The Greens are great on a drag car, but have a small fraction of the capacity of the stock Timkens and will be short lived if you really "drive" the car. (see MP catalog for disclaimer).
I could visualize losing a wheel, but they do seem to give plenty of notice (noisy).

I'd stick with the stockers.

I don't know about being short lived if you really "drive" the car. I have over 80 1/4 mile runs and 40,000 miles on my driven car in 8 years. No issues at all.
Bought em from Doctor Diff already installed on new axles.
