Full floating 9 inch
I will be running a custom width 9 inch in the back of my '68 Charger project. I am thinking about going with the full floating housing setup from Quick Performance. Its around $800 iirc for a bare housing with brake rotors, calipers, bearings, shafts and hubs. Basically all I have to add is a center section. I have 2 of em rite now, I would just have to regear one of them and put in a posi or something.
I figure it will be a lot safer running a full floater just in case I break a shaft at high speed (I know it is unlikely). This will be a street car that will also be doing road racing and auto cross, but mostly street time. Will there be any problems with the bearings or brakes on the street? Has anyone here used one of these setups? I do not mind replacing the bearings every year or so, but I will expect them to last around 5000 miles with my mix of driving conditions.
