Gears and Bearing Kit?

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wonder, should I have installed a Bearing Kit with my gears? If yes or no, how much will this altar the life of my gears or drivetrain? Car had 30k miles on it when gears were just installed.
Thanks ahead of time.

You should be fine. They recommend you put in the bearings if you have 60K or more on the car.

RE: Gears and Bearing Kit?

It's just one step further for protection/preventing anything from going wrong, but with 30K i wouldnt have bothered with it either..

ive heard stories of cars replacing their bearings with few miles and it still blowing up due to something going wrong, and the opposite with cars with high mileage NOT replacing the bearings and such, and having no problems..
