The pattern on the races and the rollers is caused by fine abrasives.

  1. Clean all of the parts and the housings.
  2. Check the seals and the bearings.
  3. Replace leaky seals, rough, or noisy bearings. Refer to WHEEL HUB, BEARING & SEAL REPLACEMENT (AWD) or WHEEL HUB, BEARING & SEAL REPLACEMENT (RWD) .
