WHEEL BEARING TROUBLESHOOTING
| Trouble | Symptom | probable cause |
|---|---|---|
| Pitting | Pitting occurs because of uneven rotation of race and bearing surfaces | Excessive bearing preload Excessive load |
| Flaking | The surface peels because of uneven rotation of the race and bearing surfaces | End of bearing life Improper bearing assembly |
| Cracking | Chipping or cracking of cage or roller edges | Impact when bearing was installed (such as being hit with a hammer) |
| Flat spotting | When large load is applied, race and roller contact surfaces compress, forming indentations | Excessive bearing preload Excessive load Vibration when bearings are not used, such as during shipment on freight cars, transport trucks, etc. |
| Nicks | Instead of rolling along race surface, rollers slide, thus damaging surface | Improper grease Excessive bearing preload Excessive load Faulty oil seal |
| Smearing | Damage or wear caused by minute particles adhering to surfaces results in rough movement and such high temperatures that parts of surface melt | Excessive variation of loads on bearings Use of grease other than that specified Improper grease |
