Hi all...
How does the outer wheel bearing cage get distorted out of round?
What kind of problem would that cause?
Thanks,
Mike

My educated guesses:

- Overtightening the bearing preload
- One or more ball bearings disintegrates causing cage to distort
- Distorted race
- Wheel collision with immovable object
- Below standard bearing materials
- Overheating of bearing assembly
- Excessive play

Possible results:
- Bearing noise
- Abnormal tire wear
- Abnormal steering
- Wheel seizure (lockup)
- Spindle wear
- death
