8 3/4 vs Dana 60

Green bearings were never designed with any specific application restrictions. The reason this myth got started was because the axles and bearing were mostly going into drag cars early on and the gearheads thought it must be something special just for them. Green makes the same bearings for all kinds of truck axles and there are millions of trucks on the road right now with axles riding on ball bearings.

Guess I better be careful taking any sharp turn on "the street" so as not to overload those bearings with any excessive "side loading", huh? I wonder if that side loading spec is something the NHTSA investigates at those accident scenes with green bearings and axles strewn all over the road. What is it measured in, pounds per ball-foot?
