## 🔌 Function

Carries the shaft's radial and thrust loads while letting it turn freely, holding it concentric in its housing.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Rumbling, growling or a droning noise that rises with speed
-   Roughness or notchiness when the shaft is turned by hand
-   Play felt when the shaft is rocked in its housing
-   Bearing running hot, or metallic glitter found in the oil
-   Races or balls found pitted, flaked or blued on strip-down

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the shaft journal and the housing bore before pressing in a new bearing - a bearing that has spun in its seat has usually damaged the seat as well
-   Renew any seal, circlip or lock tab disturbed on removal
-   Press only on the race that is being fitted, never through the balls
