BENTLEY AXLE NOISE COMPLAINT.

138 J.D. Mileage 2,705

This car has come in with a noisy axle complaint, 30 m.p.h. over run. An examination of the pinion ball races showed that the inner race housing was not bottoming. It was a good case where the radius was not correct preventing the race from seating.
