PROBLEM:
|
Applying Lubricants To The Center bowl Does Not Work
|
|
|
|
High bearing pressure extrudes both lubricants and non-metallic liners from the center bowl, leaving metal-on-metal contact. The result: poor curving performance and accelerated wheel and track wear. In extreme cases, track rollover and car derailment can occur.
