I really don't know if what I heard about front one-way diff bearing is true.

I hear that they require d@mn big maintenance for them to work properly.

I want to know because the next car I want come with one.

Please help and thanks in advance...

Basically just keep them cleaned and lubricated.

Hydramatic is right. They're not that big a deal. The biggest problem is making sure you use the right lubricant & do not over lubricate. WD40, Marvel Mystery oil, etc isn't good for one-ways. The bearings will slip. I use either Serpents one-way lube or Racer's Choice one way lube. I clean my one-ways about every 10-12 race days, then put one drop of lube bearings. I've never had one fail on me yet. BTW, you can do the same thing to your one-way bearings in your 2speed housings.
