For competitive tuners, the 3RACING Double Metal Shield Bearings (5/32 x 5/16 x 1/8) offer consistent rotational behaviour and contamination resistance. Their shielded construction reduces ingress while preserving predictable friction characteristics for setup tuning.
Double metal shields protect the inner race from particulate ingress while keeping maintenance intervals reasonable. For race use, inspect bearings regularly and replace if any increase in friction or axial play is observed.
Ensure the receiving bore is true and use a driver that bears on the outer race when pressing in the bearing to avoid inner race damage. The precise 5/32 x 5/16 x 1/8 dimensions make these bearings suitable for many axle and hub journals used in tuning environments.
