| Sure, lower the rear end so the oil in the trans will run uphill through the axle tubes to lubricate the wheel bearings. Ever seen ANY fluid run uphill? Ever purchased rear wheel bearings? - Mot cheap nor easy to change. Support your local parts house - -. |

| Actually there is such a thing as sealed rear axle bearings. You can get them from kammen(sp?). Then you dont have to worry about that. But then I run lowered cars all the time and rarely have I had problems with stock bearings. If you are worried about the oil running up hill...You can periodicly just raise the rear end. |
