hughmyron Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Anyone know where i can get some just for the carrier? My carrier bearings dissintegrated last night. Quote
camatv Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 id say no.. the kind of shock a carier will get will break ceramics to bits. just my opinion.. 1 Quote

I think i read you post something similar on this topic. Have you had bad luck with them? A site i went to claims they are stronger than the steel bearings i believe. Quote
m671054 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 They cant handle shock or impact. the rollers will shatter Quote
hughmyron Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks guys. So what are some good bearings to go with? My buddy has autoparts timken's in his, first time ive ever had to do this so im lost. Quote
sheerider11 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 I usually go with the first set that pops up in eBay. 99% of the time it's all balls. Quote

My buddy has autoparts timken's in his, first time ive ever had to do this so im lost.That means he has the tapered carrier? Those are bad ass if they get installed right. Other wise the twin row from all balls or any other reputable source is fine. I would definitely not want a giant ceramic bearing for a carrier though. Quote
camatv Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 most of the "kits" just use budget china bearings. i believe there are a few "budget kits" with seals on easybay. or just call one of the sponsors for bearings. most times the kits singl row are in the 20 buck range and twin row in the 35-40 rangish.

Coupelx Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 ceramic bearings are harder. hard does not necessarily mean strong. there was a way cool thread on a forum about them awhile back. they are used because of very low drag. less drag = more go fast. the consensus was the lifespan is shit though and very expensive.

hughmyron Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 Not sure guys talked to several different ceramic bearing makers, apparently they are superior in each and every way. I ended up with the All balls kit for like $20 locally and they work great. Quote
