Servo's don't particularly like vibration's.....rubber grommets help reduce those vibrations and imo its highly recommended you run the grommets Vs hard mounting them.

6 gallons WTF??? I am lucky to get a gallon but I do drive it hard. I know a guy who says he went 3 gallons on clutch bearings. He took them out every 1/2 gallon and cleaned and oiled them. I told him he was full of crap but he says that they lasted 3 gallons.

I also saw a pig fly one time honest:eek:

3 gallons i say is pushing it but i get 2 1/2 gallons consistently. And i always measure them and toss them at 23.4

now that i think about it the only BEARINGS i have replaced have been the DIFF bearings(obviously when i clean and put new fluids in the diff) and the CLUTCH bearings!.....ALL the other bearings in the car are still running ok...the pinion bearings are GREAT still and the steering post bearings are great!...the inner hub bearings are pretty worn lol..but i ALWAYS take out ALL the bearings in the truck and clean them:D....and they were used when bought as a 1.0 in april LOL!

ok, are we talking 1.0's or 2.0's?

did the rubber grommets come in the kit? i don't remember see'ing anything im my roller, and ive never used anything to cushion the servo's or radio tray. thats why i can't understand.

do you have part numbers.. anything? lol, i feel left out... border line cheated! lol

The grommets come with servos. You should have some from any servos you've bought.

Grommets are used on any car.;)

All rubber blocks are hard,they all seem to be the same type of rubber between manufacturers.
Just don’t quite see them doing their intended job.

It doesnt take much to stop the vibration. And that is what matters!!
