ANTIFRICTION TYPE BEARINGS
1.
Check antifriction type rod end bearings as
follows:
a.
Wipe bearing with cloth (E120).
b.
Rotate lubricated bearing. Feel for rough
spots, binding or radial looseness. If these
defects are felt, or radial looseness is more
than 0.004 inch, replace bearing.

inch may be felt by hand.
Axial play can vary. In most cases this
