Yes! These pin bearings are surrounded by high temp grease, the grease is kept where it should be by rubber seals. Once these seals are worn out, and cracked, or broken completely, the grease finds its way away from the bearings, and then you have metal on metal contact. There are four parts to a bearing system on each wheel; the inner bearing, outter bearing, and racers for both. the bearings run along the racers, and without the proper amount, and quality grease, these pin bearings with soon break the racer/lose bearing from retainer/lock up/or just simply over heat and STOP the wheel from turning. so, replace those bearings, and get NEW high temp bearing grease and chock it FULL. this will prevent any future problems.
