If memory serves me right I believe I saw Larry Hill laying on the ground in the staging lanes at Indy one time heating his rear end with a propane torch.

I believe some of the other Mopar axles with c-clips and straight bearings use gear lube?

Yes you're correct. The 8 1/4 rear for one example utilized roller axle bearings and relies on differential gear oil for lubrication.

I reply stating 720 passes on one R&P in a car that 60 foots 1 teens and you're " still not comfortable"?

Not to hijack the thread but while we're on the subject of rear ends, I just wondered how many people run ball bearing carrier bearings??? I had one of the first custom built units (9" Ford) years ago but I have to assume that now they're pretty common.

We do on the cobalt from MW. Does strange have a ball bearing support for their nodular? Have two centers for the deuce, one strange, one MW>
