Which side of the nut or bearing was contacting that surface?
What is under the washer ? Over tightening usually results in a burned up bearing. And what are gubbins ? |

Looks like bearing was not seated properly. Picture seems to show worn off at an angle? Is that correct?

And what are gubbins ? gubbins is generic for bits n bobs. the worn side was against the smaller outer bearing. There is no damage to the bearing or the housing. |

The hole in the center looks to be fubared. Should be nice & round except the nub. Maybe the wrong washer was used and “made to work”?

Hi dude. I had looked up those washers, thinking I needed some. Not cheap. So I'd guess someone in the past had, like you said, over tightened it in the past. Not wanting or unable to get a new one they put that back in. I had to look where you were after "freaking memory is pants." , and the word gubbins. Great word

Great word Love the Brits wording for things ,worked on ships with them and funny as. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) . Anyway back to the program, that washer looks to be totaled so the bearing and the strut would be similar ,thinking I agree unseated bearing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . |

That almost looks like a strut top washer rather than a bearing washer?
