Can you advise how tight a fit the inner cone bearings should be on the stub axle journals. My axle has signs of the bearing cones turning on the journals; the bearings seem to be a loose fit on the journals, I would have thought that there should some resistance when pushing the bearing on to prevent the inner cones from turning on the stub axle journals. As the axle is almost new (fitted to a caravan)I am concerned that in time the axle will become worn and need replacing. Regards Rod Hi Craig, re stub axle and bearing fit.
