Those Integy parts sure are low quality... I've got the same rear uprights on my Savage, which is why I recognized them. On mine it seems the bearings don't line up with each other because the axle doesn't spin as freely as it should. But in the end it doesn't matter so much because we have eliminated the rear toe link. And did you know that the Integy uprights/hardware weigh only 2.3oz, while the stock parts they replaced (carriers, knuckles, toe links, pins, etc) weigh in at 4.5oz?
