What where you laughing at? Are you not required to run these bearings on your rigs in OZ?? The Vortex created by the spinning bearing is suppose to decrease particulate emission by %70. Don't ya just love those crazy tree hugger and thier ideas to make our cars better and cleaner
Seriously though, stay on top of this one from a maintenance standpoint. I normally get 14-15mpg but with the muffler bearing out I drop down to 11-12.

OK, so when I first got on this site, maybe around post 20-30 I read a thread about the muffler bearing. Everyone was so convincing that I almost began to believe that one existed. I knew there was no bearing in the muffler but everyone in the thread was so fricken serious that I kept thinking, "is this for real". Anyway, I've come a long way and I am still DAMN PROUD of my magnetic oil drain plug modification. Overcoming the obstacles of additional threads is not something to take lightly
Now stop all this muffler bearing crap. Everone who has spent any time under a cruiser knows that its the muffler belt that is going to fail before the bearing causes problems

I heard NorCalDoug talking about this pic at SNT, but I thought it was just a rumour.
SWEEEEEEEEEEET!

I have heard the synthetic blinker fluid is far superior.
One thing that most people in the US fail to realize is that you cannot order the magnetic drain plugs from the Aussies. They are in the southern hemisphere. Thus their magnets are out of phase for northern hemisphere applications. Check your part numbers carefully, and order appropriately.

i wasn't laughing at the idea of muffler bearings, i was laughing at how low tech your inferior mufflers are in the USA
we are supposed to run muffler bearings, but an australian company found a far superiour replacement. it is a bronze bushing in place of the bearing, but is hollowed out, and contains essential emu oils, which not only reduces emissions, but acts as a repelent to the drop bears, which are mortal enemys of emu's.
tell you what, last thing you want to do is go camping, and have a drop bear attack, while you think "damn shoulda replaced that bushing)
as for the blinker fluid. has anyone done the mod to link the front and back indicators, as well as side to side, so that if there is a slight leak, you won't run one completely dry?
Listen to this it is hilarious.
