Hey DGE330/NC, just letting you know that
years ago I installed the "GREEN" Axle bearings from Mopar Performance, and they only lasted me about 3,800 miles before the driver side took a dump.
It didn't seize up, but started to growl at me,lol.
You could also feel it dragging badly, when pushing the car around shop, or when coasting.
I changed them both, even with only one being shot.
I sold the car about 1800-2000 miles later, and the next owner had to change the axle bearings very soon after buying the car.
(He had me replace them with another set of Green bearings)
Since then I have read about some few guys having issues, with the "GREEN" axle bearings, when used on the street. (this again was YEARS ago)
I have been told they were originally made for drag racing use, straight line driving, and they aren't strong enough to handle prolonged side loading forces when street driven, around turns.
This was in 2002-2007, that I had my issues
I am not sure if they have changed the design of them, or if I got a bad few sets?
I know a LOT of guys run the GREEN bearings, so maybe it was just the Mopar Performance ones that are/were bad.
I am not sure but, I am just passing on what I experanced and I have read, to give you a heads up.
Because of my past issues, I personally wont run them again, I just use the factory ones.
Maybe other guys can chime in, with some advice, if they have had similar issues, or they know if they have improved them.
Good luck with rear carrier swap, no mater what axle bearing you decide to run.
