[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I have had similar characteristics on one of my previous Novas. The problem turned out to be a worn outer wheel bearing that eventually exploded, allowing the outer race to ride on the inner race. The heat turned portions of the spindle blue, but I was able to use a puller to remove the inner race from the spindle, and reinstall new bearings. However, I don't think I was ever able to replace the outer race and therefore was subject to annual bearing replacements on that particular wheel. Not sure if it's the same symptoms, but possible.
