Question free spin bearing assemblies

[rsftugger]

has anyone put these on their 2001 super 7.3? I am having trouble with needle bearings going bad in bearing assembly. If you have what brand and how has it affected your baby?

Are you talking about the wheel bearings? I replaced my wheel bearing assy a couple of months ago....I think it was a Master Pro name brand. Holding up ok right now (knock on wood)

My needle bearings went out about 2 months ago and ate up my front driver side axle. The shop I took it to said they was going to put cheve bearing sback in because they last longer.

My uncle has a '00 V10 F350 and he kept replacing the wheel bearings with after market parts. Finally they went back to the factory part and has been good ever since.

you mean dynatrac's? search for them here, lots of discussion on them, though for $2k, it buys a few unit bearings

I ran the Solid Axle Free Spyn kit on my 2000. Gained about 1mpg. If you have auto hubs they will go away. Easy install as well. Like mentioned earlier, the cost will buy a few unit bearings.
