Default Ws6 rear end rebuild

Anybody have any ideas where to buy a "quality" rebuild kit for my rear end. Want to rebuild axle bearings, pinion bearings, plan to switch to 4:10. Looked at other kits, but bad reviews saying the bearings were cheap.

If you're trying to rebuild the factory rear especially with 4.10 you're wasting your time. Step up to something like a fab9 or s60. Check out the gear/ axle section. From what I've researched mid west chassis seems to have a good reviews. When I get one it will probably be a fab 9 from them. Do your research though and doubt you will find anyone that recommends rebuilding the stock 10 bolt with 4.10s.

There are plenty of people with 4.10s in their factory ten bolt running just fine. Depends on what your going to do with the car. If your going to run a sticky tire and plan on going drag racing a lot maybe not the best choice. Also longevity comes out of a good quality installation.

Dont listen to fools like that. Me personally ive always used ratech rebuild kits and had good luck. 308tk is the kit you need if you arent gonna replace the wheel bearings.
