The parts that really are handy are small bevel gears, a set of hubs, one pair of suspension arms, steerings knuckles. I have had a diff go bad on me too, although I don't think anyone else here has, but if you want a quick replacement for those rare occasions keep a spare diff ready built.

I have already listed the possible 'usual' cases.
What about the drive shaft, universals? Any idea?
I will keep a ready spare diff just in case. Thanks again.

Better quality bearing (apec 7) , metal shielded so they roll more free than the poly shielded bearings, no grease in them....just light oil.
I have been running them since the snowbirds last year and they still feel new. That includes carpet and asphalt racing. No problems or bearing failures whatsoever.
hope this helps.

OMG, a Dave sighting! 
How are you Dave? Haven't seen you on here or heard from you in e-mail in a while. How did the Alex Race go (I think that was a couple of weekends ago?) Anywhere we can see results?
