b. Wheel Bearing Noise
When the transmission is in neutral gear and the vehicle is sliding, the wheel bearing issue a continuous roar or friction sound.
Since there is no wheel bearing pre-load force, when the wheels leave the ground the wheel bearing noise will be significantly
reduced.
D. Bearing internal wear, deformation, indentation in bearing ring, micro-abrasive entering into the bearing and its seat ring, foreign
matter entering into the bearing and the seat ring is locked, bearing and its seat ring due to wear and tear become loose, these
will have the noise and thus make the system not work properly.
