What bearings for the Savage should be added/replaced besides the steering upgrade?

If any, part #'s would be helpfull.

Thanks
 
That's about it, or at least all that I've done to mine. Be sure to keep some spare clutch bell bearings on hand. For some reason I kept destroying mine.

Error, there should be very minimal "play" when you tighten your clutch bell nut. If there is quite a bit, try putting an extra shim, that should correct it.
:mex:
 
I do shim the CB so there is minumal play. I don't know why, but seems like my savage is hard on CB bearings. My buggy setup seem to be better on the bearings.
 
I recently have junked the rear diff bearing, bo32, 10x16x5 this has proven to be tough to find locally, zero success, and to order it the shipping cost more than the bearings, ugh. When these bearings go, you will think that you blew a diff up. Just as much work to get to the bearing though, so, not much difference, except that my LHS has all the gear to fix a broke spider. Waiting for bearings to come in.....
