Tag axle wheel bearings

[mikkhh]

There have been similar incidents with company trucks before, the drivers are not complaining for some reasons about faults and usually things are found when truck shows up for an oil change or somebody else happens to drive it. The owner of this truck just wants to change wheel bearing on only this one wheel, in my opinion other FIVE need at least looking at, I would replace them all, since there are intermittent abs sensor faults too (after replacing sensors, that were visibly worn through at the tip) and it makes sense to verify condition or even better replace abs tone rings.

On this same truck head gasket appears to leak externally. Probably dropped liners. It has got around 550 000 miles on it.

First time I did an oil change on this truck couple of years ago I cleaned out the oil centrifuge.

Top nut o-ring disintegrated between my hands, truck was 15 years old then. Maybe the guys who fix that brand truck have no idea that oil centrifuges exist on that brand for like at least fourty years on them already and they are supposed to be cleaned every oil change.


Oil centrifuge O-ring was misplaced and centrifuge did not work!


Common sloppy work present almost everywhere nowadays.



I have heard that even steer tires have fell off too in the past due to bearing failures, drivers keep saying, that they did not feel anything wrong until wheel fell off. How is that even possible, there has to be vibrations or something that you must feel, since those tires and wheels are very heavy. Bearing falling off is consequence of very very very severe neglect.
