I see some logic there if, as someone mentioned, they are properly tightened etc. I ended up going with the ball bearings and have no regrets but I think I really like the taper ones better. I'm sure either one will work OK its just that we are always wanting to make our trucks better and last longer. I think I will go tapered on the one I'm working on now though since they may be more readily available and more economical in the future should replacement become necessary. | | |
