Yes, Dave, they ain't worth shit, however...... If your bucks down and your rubber bushings have discintegrated......they will dufernow, like Rich said, maybe a year of squeaking....I had no such excuse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Go with Elephant iff'n you can swing it. Shine/Tarett needles if you want the best....not cheep.....but I'm not too sure of those for longevity on the street. 3-4 years now...still swing like butter. Rich |

3-4 years now...still swing like butter. Rich Swing is a foregone conclusion, but is there any slop....lateral or axial. My needles are still tight but wear was evident on the thrust washers. I turned them over. BTW, Rich, I had the tranny down & found a broken needle bearing cage under first gear. The needle was still in place but the cage was cracked thru side to side. That coulda got ugly. Attached thumbnail(s) |
