    Question for you all. I have the needle bearing making noises in my front diff due to my lift. I did not know this was the issue till I eliminated all other possibility’s after I put on my lift lol. Question is, how long can one drive on the oem needle bearing before I can get the ECGS bearing for the tighter tolerance. Luckily this isn’t my daily so it’s been my garage queen. Thanks in advance.

    I ran mine for nearly a year before I swapped it out and the bearing seemed ok when it came out. I don’t drive tons tho, well under 10k in that time
