bearing gave

[alpinestars199]

So after 2.5 gallons the bearings on my 4.6 finally gave out how often should they be replaced? Obvi
ously they shouldn't bust apart

Which bearings? I had 2 differential output bearings fail on me just after the first gallon.

That's because you forgot to check the blinker fluid.

If they keep going u need to make sure it's shimmed properly. It shouldnt move much at all backwards and forwards. Eg around 0.1mm, should have a touch of play

It will happen, those bearings can spin upwards of 30,000 rpm's, eventually one will give out.

I’ve tried standard metal shielded, rubber shielded; no shield, ceramic and phenolic muffler bearings and they all seem the last a long time for some odd reason.
