question about locker install.
im getting my arb put in as we speak. its at 4wheelparts. we took it wed. and they said they should have it in. my pops talked to them last night and said they needed to replace some sort of bearing. apparently, they say there are none in atl and they had to order this part. my question is...should there be a replacement of a bearing/or is there any bearing to replace when you install an arb locker. i feel like they are scamming me..and just delaying working on my car

so that brings up another...why didnt they anticipate this and order it when they ordered all of the parts? or does that seem way too obvious for 4wheelparts to do...?

any smart person will replace the bearings when the set up the gears and locker, just gives ya that much extra time on them. but i would have thought that 4wheelparts would have ordered then with or they should have been in the install kit for the gears.

Carrier bearings.
Some people just reuse them if they are in "good shape." Some people also drive Mini Coopers.
Mine are fresh Timkens front and rear. I cannot imagine why they would not have thought about that unless they planned on just reusing the oldies, which seems possible and consistent with their reputed stupidity.
