I was reading your reply about the H shimmy below and it got me thinking. I am going to show my ignorance here but if I don?t ask I will never know. I have never understood just exactly what pre load is on bearing adjustment. I have read on here in the past where someone may say this kind of bearing requires pre load and others types that do not. I have to admit that I am somewhat in the dark on the term of pre load. I have done my share of wheel bearings in my day like my ole dad showed me where I would snug them down to where the wheel would roll with resistance then back it off till it rolled free without any play in it. I read your post all the time and see that you have obtained a lot of wisdom so I would appreciate your explanation. Thank you sir.
