before we go any further I want you to know that I believe you and thank
you for your comment,
Now..... (here we go..) a bearing (a ball bearing) turns in a groove,
agree?..... if there will be any problem (with the ball bearing) the groove
will be worn, (no grease, bad balls or whatever)... all of those factors
should be MOST noticeable whenever the wheel turns (bearing spins),
INDEPENENDENT of angle because the balls turns in a groove, and that groove
location doesn't change when you turn..... it makes no sense that a bearing
will be OK going straight and noisy while making a turn, your ball bearing
don't care if you turn or go straight......a ball bearing can be loaded
only in ONE way......a CV joint is a different story...
Exceptions do exist and at no point am I denying your statement, I am not
with you......so seeing or hearing is the true test, what I told you is the
(just) basic operation principal,
