What issues are there with the carrier bearings?

I replaced the carrier bearings when replacing the center section because the factory rear end grenaded and left metal in the fluid. Wasn't worth the risk of ruining the new locker!

This locker can be installed in either the 8.6" or 8.5" rear end. You will need different size bearings depending on your application. Bearing are available through Timken or other sources like Yukon. There are installation kits available to install the 8.6" carrier in a 8.5" rear end. To be sure to measure the old bearings that are in your differential to figure out what size you need.

Ordered the bearings that go with it .. everything went back together like a glove .. I was surprised but relieved at the same time .. truck runs beautiful now ..

If you are referring to the first post, what he meant was that he purchased new bearings to be on the safe side when installing this new differential. (he was worried that there may be metal pieces/shavings from his old broken one. Again, I am "assuming" that this is your question. Otherwise, if you want to run this 30 spline differential in an 8.5" rear that came with 28 spline axles (i.e. Buick Grand National), you will need to change to the larger carrier bearings.

I did not experience any issues with carrier bearings, although I was rebuilding the entire rear end so I replaced all bearings with high end ones while I was at it.

I have actually had the same exact problem. It has a one year limited manufactures warranty that protects you from factory defects.so what you would do is 1 of 2 things A. Do a return order on amazon, and describe the issue you are having. If that does not work then B. Go to Atomlongboards.com and then file a warranty claim on the deck itself or the wheels or trucks if any of those are having issues as well. Hope this helped! J.W.

There are two bearings, one on each side. You can test each bearing to see if they are both bad, but I would recommend just replacing them both while you're at it.

We have not experienced this. Your local scate shop might be able to help you sort this out. It sounds like it might be a bearing. The good news is that the bearings and wheel assemblies are pretty universal.

Sealed ball bearings.See pic at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r25197481-I-need-a-Fasco-A170-what-are-my-options-

I had same problem but used 3-in-1 oil and gauze pads to remedy it. It's all ball bearings after all. Plus, there was filth and muck all over the place

They do not have sealed bearings. See http://www.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/pedals/mountain/product.-code-PD-M324.-type-.pd_mountain.html for an exploded view. You need a special wrench to disassemble/reassemble them as well. the problem is that the tool needed costs as much or more than the pedals themselves! So unless your LBS has the tool, it is cheaper to just buy a new pair. Been using these since 2009, they are awesome, no issues.

I wondered the same thing. After checking out some other reviewers I think the ball bearing units overall were in better quality I think. Also someone mentioned something about sleeve bearings being mounted a certain way that would cause early failure or something of that nature. Either way i don't think it was a huge price difference extra for ball bearings. I'd get these again. They are good.

Mine came with a pilot bearing, plus all the other necessary components. I think you should get some kind of a price adjustment. Should have been in the box.

Yes. It was much easier for me to replace this entire assembly than bang out and replace just the bearings. And on the front it's pretty darn easy to do. - Good luck!

not sure which problems you're referring to, but I've had a few. one of the more irritating was they sent the wrong replacement even when I had provided the correct part number. the 1st correct replacement they sent was defective. But I love the drill/driver....

Sleeve bearing. Beware of quality. I got a bad one outof the box and this company did not stand up to exchanging it for me.

The bearings are ABEC 7; they were terrible in the first batch, but the newer boards come with some pretty good ones - don't be afraid to try breaking the board in before deciding to order a different set of bearings!

If in doubt check with JD. I found by dismantling my existing spindle assemblies, the bearings were worn out. Bearings were cheap and simple to replace. New spindles did not come with mounting bolts.

There is a rubber dust cap that fits over the bearing buddy if lost bearing buddy still functions correctly just may have grease in places you are not wanting it if run for a prolong time like that

Love the unit. However my bearing are going as well. I can hear them grinding and only had it a few months.

I am unable to tell you that specifically as the package is long gone, but if you have any concerns about it being an "off" brand, I'll just say that it has been almost two years, a lot of miles, and the bearing is just fine. As I said in my review, I would buy it again if I ever need one for the other Maxima in the family.
