Roller Bearing: Roller bearings are not ideal due to lower thrust load rating. Not a permanent
fix - bearing must be serviced.
Load ratings advertised by other manufacturers are not indicative of real world ratings. Here
are the facts:
A 6204 series ball bearing currently has a dynamic load capacity of 2900# with thrust max
load rating of 1450# (factory single row bearing)
The NJ or NU204 cylindrical roller bearing has a dynamic load capacity of 3750# with thrust
max load rating of 375#
The custom Single Row Pro or Classic Dual Row ceramic hybrid bearing has a dynamic load
capacity of 4000# w/ Thrust or 2000# and is stronger than the above roller bearing.
