Does this part suit both practice and race use?

Yes, the balance of lightness and durability makes it suitable for both regular practice sessions and competitive race use, provided routine checks are performed.

Will I notice a difference on carpet or asphalt?

Drivers can expect crisper response on both surfaces; the exact feel depends on suspension setup and tyre choice, but reduced rotating mass benefits traction changes everywhere.

Should bearings be replaced at the same time?

If bearings show wear it is sensible to replace them when installing a new shaft to ensure minimal friction and accurate alignment from the start.

Is any break-in needed after fitting?

A short, careful run-in under light loads to check alignment and bearing temperatures is recommended to confirm everything is operating as expected.
