ive used allballs in my suspension. after a few rides theres a real little bit of play but theyre ok. as for wheel bearings, just make sure theyre packed properly with grease and theyll last.
do it!... cos if you dont, youll spend the rest of your life thinking about it anyway!

I tried the all balls rear wheel bearing kit >>> personally I thought it was crap >>> the bearings seemed too "made in china" for me and the seals lasted 2 rides >>> the seal lips tore off both sides road rashing (no mud).

Sorry but I give these the thumbs down (you asked)

I am hard on bearings, and let me tell you about all balls.

Complete crap. Low quality bearings.
I kept wearing out rear bearings on my street bike, I figured it was from wheeling and what not. replaced always with all balls seal and bearing kit.

I buy cr 500, rear bearings always fail, replace with all balls,

ktm 300 which I ride all the time always rear bearings go. this year alone I have replaced the rear bearings 2 times now. in 1 fricken year.

I asked dealer I get my parts from wtf gives? I know I am hard on stuff but come on. They ordered pivit works tihs time. Alittle more expensive but so far havn't worn out. I have had it with all balls. I am not going to order them anymore.
