[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 743179, member: 54263"] As Tom said, it is not uncommon for those bearings to last the lifetime of the vehicle... If your on your third set, something is wrong. It may be an issue within the rear end itself or have something to do with your work. The fact that you did the job leads me to think you are familiar with what needs to be done when doing this job. However, many people use the original crush sleeve, and in many cases you will get away with it. However, if it is crushed too much, it will create and issue both with the bearings as well as the lash adjustment of the pinion to the ring gear... If you do the job again, get a new crush sleeve and go from there. It may be worth tearing it all down and getting a very good look at the inside of the rear end itself... [/QUOTE]
