A: These have the backing plate that gets installed before the bearings, just like stock. If you have a bearing failure, the bearing super-heats and then slides off the axle shaft. At that point, there isn't anything that will hold the shaft into the vehicle. The best advice is to use quality components and Timken Bearings (that is what is in our kit) and inspect the bearings every 1-2 years for wear, proper lubrication, etc. Answer provided by:  Ryan (1/2/2019)

A: two of these kits should be sufficient. But, I would recommend emailing us the Bill Of Materials (BOM) number off the axle tube so we can verify the parts will work with your application. Answer provided by:  Ryan (6/25/2018)
