Just want to clear up what I think is a misconception on your part… In your original post, you ask if that defective bearing race could be used on a truck that only goes into four-wheel-drive a handful of times. That bearing race is only having movement when the hubs are free. So if you had asked, I always leave my hubs in, can I use this stub shaft, the answer would have been yes. The needle bearing is only active when the wheel is turning and the axle is not turning.

Thanks for correcting my error. I didn’t realize the OBS assemblies were that much different from the early Super Duties.
