I have 2003 P71 replacing rear bearing and seal and the axle has a 1/16" or less groove where the bearing rides, is there any draw back in using a bearing saver VS replacing the axle?

I am hoping to keep this car for the long run and do some highway traveling in it.

Thanks for any feedback.

Being you already have the axle out, I would replace it, No use of redoing the project all over again when it will be ,ore expensive to do.
