I really enjoyed working with the Torino ends and it seemed to make a good setup. I haven't seen any posts to confirm it but it seems the GM style roller bearing would also lead to more brake knock-back because the axles have a little more end play. Those are my simple reasons.

Which part am I kidding about?
