Green bearings for street

I don't know how there was ever a question about the green type bearing not being suitable for the road. Millions of vehicles are deliveried from the factory every day with a double row ball bearing assembly just like the green bearing. Anyone with a FWD car or a late model independant front suspension 4wd pick-up or SUV has that type of bearing on the front wheels. Even the 7.25, 8.25, 9.25 Chrysler rear ends use a straight roller bearing with C-clips retaining the axle.

Chrysler back in the 50's threw early 70's had a reputation for over engineering things (i.e., left had thread lug nuts) I put tapered roller bearings on the rear axle in the same category. Certainly a better design for retaining the axles but not necessary.
