I have done axle bearings on more than one f-body, and there was no damage besides the bearing itself. It's a case by case basis IMO dependent on how early you catch the noise...if the axle is worn replace it, if not, it's fine.

Replacing a bearing and not replacing the race (axle in this case) is an improper repair, and is completely foolish.
