Cusco RS LSD bearings damaged

[De_Cruelz]

Hey guys, i've attached a pic of the bottom bearing which has 2 dents in it. My guess is it was dented when it was removed. Sorry for the small pic though as it was taken with a phone camera.

Will this cause problems and should I replace it?

yes it could cause problems. Consider the price of this bearing and the effort needed to take it all back out again after it seizes/explodes - just replace it with a 100% new item :)

Thanks for the reply Ben!

Will I be able to use an OEM Honda bearing instead or would it be better to go to a bearing specialist to have one made to the exact size?

The item is not with me at the moment thus I can't get any measurements.

OEM should fit - remember to measure up and use the correct shim thickness too.

Thanks mate, that was quick! :)
