- I am totally unqualified to answer this question, but that's never stopped me ;) Generally, I have heard--and this makes mucho sense--that needle bearings aren't a particularly good idea on (for lac

- Hi Bob, I agree with you that at first glance the application of reciprocating needle bearings seems questionable. In reality, they seem to work quite well. Perhaps the U joint needle bearings are on

- FWIW, I can recommend this upgrade. Despite the theory that it shouldn't make much difference, in reality fitting this kit to my BJ8 radically reduced the steering effort when parking and improved t

- I read with interest the thread on the top trunion thrust bearings. AH Spares claims that their needle bearings "give an almost power steering feel to your car" , and Alan's experience supports this

- Hey Jim. They are not sealed bearings but three pieces. A cup type housing, the radial needle roller set and a thrust washer. You are quite right grease through the upper kingpin zerk (nipple in the

- Well, Bob, I can assure you that the thrust bearings are Oilite, and I can also inform you that grease should NEVER be used on Oilite bearings. The trick of Oilite bearings is that they are porous, a
