Implications: Was set loose on last job (30k ago), or possible loosen as lock nut was removed, just as it tightens when torqueing locking nut on. It may have been at ideal setting, unfortunately we have no way of knowing what it was set to.If the lock washer is in place, I don't see how either one of the adjustment nuts could loosen up.
What's I find interesting is that claw washer was not grooved/scored. Loose bearings will vibrate/chatter on claw washer, causing scoring. The goal is to find optimum preload, tight enough we don't get chatter, but loose enough bearings move as freely as possible.
