Anyone have experience with Mopar's Rear Axle Bearing set??

It looks pretty sweet and does away with the adjuster. they look like cartridge bearings. any thoughts??

I believe these are the same as the "green" bearings often discussed here.  the general feeling seems to be that they are fine for drag racing, but don't last on the street with heavier side loading due to their ball bearing versus the tapered roller bearing used originally.  My rear came with the "no adjustment" bearings and is fine so far, but if I have to replace them later I will probably go back to the original type.

Hmmm.... interesting.... Thanks for the response!

OZ, it has to be time to look at your bearings and see if they need to be greased.  Please pull one and open the dust seal and let us know what you see.  I will not run them. 

To the regular tapered seat roller bearing crowd,  I installed new stock bearings and the pics are still here:
