Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 256692, member: 103"] Here's the main thing to keep in mind. There's no need to compare the ease, or cost associated with replacing bearings with each system, because if you rid yourself of the unit bearings, you will simply never replace another bearing as long as you live. It's not like the conversion allows you to run cheaper bearings, although it does. But that's not the point. The point is.... when you run a REAL bearing assembly, where LARGE bearings are separated by TWICE the distance, they simply DON'T require replacement. Go on with your life and stop buying unitized assemblies for the rest of your life. I have NEVVVVVVVVER replaced, nor serviced the bearings on ANY of our vehicles before they switched to unitized bearings. EVER. NONE of them have any play or problems with the bearings. It's physics. You can't support the same load on bearings spaced right next to one another without incurring dramatically more stress than if the bearings were spaced a few times farther apart. The OEM's did NOT go to unitized bearings because they were more durable. They were CHEAPER to use when building trucks in an assembly line, and they get to sell you hundreds of dollars worth of unitized bearing assemblies for the rest of the truck's life. Duh. [/QUOTE]
