Pro's & Con's: Roller Pilot Bearing or Stock Bushing..
Just like it says, Who is running what, whats your take on it, and what made you chose one or the other? I just did the T-56 swap and put in a roller.
Re: Pro's & Con's: Roller Pilot Bearing or Stock Bushing..
6.2l roller. I used it because one of the guys on here who owns a shop convinced me that he always uses then and hasn't seen one fail. So yes one could in theory fail, but if noone is actually breaking them then.......

Bushing. It won't wear any more than the roller if you use the right lube. I had the bushing in my car for almost 25k miles and it showed virtually no sign of wear on the shaft or bushing itself (even the grease looked almost new). Just use plenty of lithium or heavy moly-based grease and you shouldn't have to worry about it for a LONG time.
