Defect Summary

Equipment description: axles assemblies manufactured from june 1 and september 15, 2000. some axles were manufactured with a bearing option known as nev-r-lube. the optional hub utilizes a sealed cartridge bearing which is held in place with a retaining ring that prevents the hub from shifting on the bearing. some of these axle assemblies were produced without the retaining ring.
