    LT230 Collapsible Spacer

    Gday,

    Just curious with this one. But I was reading that with one of the strength modification kits for the LT230 they don't use the collapsible spacer and the needle roller bearing, instead they use a preloaded tapered roller bearing which not only means no pre-load adjustment but that its also 3 times stronger.
    Is this a possible modification just on its own? If so how would you work ut what tapered roller bearing you would require, etc.?

    Regards

    Later model LT230 boxes use this setup and the spacer is available in a range of lengths so that the correct pre-load can be achieved.

    Is it a worthwhile mod?
