rotation. Visually inspect the bearing for moisture, dirt

Due to extremely close tolerances and minimal wear,
the bearings must be inspected visually, and by feel.

spots, discoloration, or corrosion. The bearings should
turn smoothly and quietly, with no detectable up and
down movement and minimal movement sideways
