Took my front passenger bearings out for inspection while addressing a 12-6 shimmy. I noticed some marks on the spindle and inside both the inner and outer bearing. Anything to worry about? Everything seemed to be greased up properly from my last inspection about a year ago.
Last year I re-torqued the front end to 43ft/lbs per FSM and 20 or 25 ft/lbs on the Trail Gear locking nut per MUD research for 35s. I was a little surprised it loosened up but I did just come back from a trip with tons of washboard and rocky roads. Are those heat marks? Bearings looked fine otherwise.
Put it back together and no more wobble from 12-6.
