Trail-Gear Needle Bearing Eliminators

The 8 in. IFS clamshell differential has frustrated owners with its vibrations and droning hums, often due to the thin and weak driver's side CV shaft differential needle bearing, which doesn't handle side loads effectively. Trail-Gear needle bearing eliminators or clamshell bushings replace weak needle bearings that could fracture and ruin your gears. These 8 in. clamshell needle bearing eliminators are the best way to correct the faulty design and eliminate its weakness for good. They are made from PTFE-impregnated and lined sintered bronze, providing an almost 10mm longer contact surface length to eliminate side load deflection. With a durable SAE 1020 steel backing, they should outlast the lifetime of your CV joints. Benefits: * Replaces weak stock needle bearing on driver's side of specified vehicles * Solid, self-lubricating bushing design greatly reduces axle runout * Less runout reduces or eliminates vibration and noise * Extended length provides increased bearing surface Show Less
