But if you plan to drive your car daily and dont want to take it apart after a few months be on the safe side and replace them.

Hope this information helps everyone out.

Oh and we have them in stock.

Was helpful, I'm building it to be a daily driver...or at least I want it to be able to be relied on for that if needed.

I worry about copper bearing wear with sharp cut-off's like the bottom pic.
Guarans I would replace that...

Since I'm replacing bearings, might as well replace them both, right?

Only downside is that you gotta be extra careful on the break-in due to the new bearings.

Thanks for the feedback Ted

I've read about extra break-in for new bearings.
