i took apart my rear end the other day because my rear end was whining and i replaced 2 axle bearings and 2 carrier bearings. Now my question is, how bad would that slow me down at the track? they have been gone since i bought the car, i ran my car at the track when i was stock with them gone and got a horrible time. They're fixed now, curious if ill run better.

Its one of those things that you wont know until you go. Just becuase its making noise and its "bad" doesnt mean was dragging on the bearing and causing parasitic loss

well it was definitely slowing me down on the street a little bit because before id coast in neutral and it would slow me down quite a bit more than it does now. Now when i put it in neutral it just coasts, a lot smoother. Also my axle was worn away too from the bearings but that was fixed as well

If its doing that a slow roll into neutral then I would think you should gain.

I don't think it will make any difference. If you run better times it is more likely to be because of better weather/track conditions...not a bearing.

thanks i am having the same issue with my car slowing down in neutral. i was convinced it was a brake problem? axel and carrier bearings thanks

I doubt it would make you any slower. In fact, it should yield you just the opposite.

But, the question is, "if it would make you any faster or slower". Truth be told, it isnt even going to be measurable...
