And i also notice that touring cars go thru bearings MUCH MUCH faster then off road cars do. They are harder on their bearings then off road cars are. I haven't had to change on of my bearings in my car for like a year, and they are still spinning smoothly with the metal shields still in place.

Worth it though if it keeps you in the race instead of snapping an aluminum axle.

Might have to get a pair to offset the extra unsprung weight of my sc10 beadlocks.

If it is anything like the shocks with bleeder holes it may be a long wait. I still can't find anyone who has them in stock.

when my bleeder caps age, im not going back to them, stripped two of them out just refilling the shock with oil, a big disappointment.

i just took them off once, cleaned and threw some more oil in, when it was time to tighten them down, i did so, and i wasnt wrenching the hell out of the either. they just went, so i was kinda pissed.

How often do these actually break? I started racing again a year ago after a 15 year abscense and haven't broken one (broke a few arms though). Does this actually happen regularly with you guys?
