Default RE: Getting gears, question about bearing cap studs

ORIGINAL: ajaibr

Honestly, has anyone on here ever had a catasrophic rear end failure? Has anyone you even know ever broken a bearing cap bolt? They probably stopped carrying them because there's no need for them.... I'm all for overkill but thats one of the last studs I'd think about spending extra time or effort finding... Save your 25-30 bucks for a couple extra runs at the drag strip... It'll do you way more good there....


I guess that makes sense, not like impushing any serious power anyway. Atleast not in the short term.

I'd say do them if you're putting in a spool... Otherwise skip it... I'm not putting them in when I change to a 4.10 on Monday...
