Spool in a street car?

[Billydroveit]

I have a spool in my car with zero problems. It chirps a little but it doesnt bother me. DONT do c-clip eliminators, do ford bearing ends. They last longer and hardly ever leak. If the seal comes out of it, you can go to the parts store down the street and get the parts. It also has only one place to leak from as opposed to c-clip elim which has two places to leak from.

I don't have any problems with mine either....but i'm aware when i turn a corner to take it easy to not hurt teh strange C Clip Elims i have in, and have for 4+ years. My car see's 75 % street duty. If i could afford it and I'm sure when i go from 31 to 33 spline I might go to a 9 Inch bearing end so i don't have to sweat anything anymore. But money will dictate that in the long run. I just don't feel comfortable with a spool and a c Clip, my neighbors car turned the splines on a moser axle once...nothing is indestructable.


And if I'm doing my math right they can potentially leak in four places. One on each side of the backing plate, the split in the eliminator and the seal in the bearing itself!
