TMC Wheel End Adjustment

A procedure or set of guidelines issued by the Technology & Maintenance Council for adjusting the wheel end of a vehicle to ensure proper alignment and performance.

Preload Drag

A condition characterized by friction and drag in machinery components, typically bearings, caused by an applied preload force to ensure clearance elimination and precise operation.

Endplay

Linear play in a shaft, wheel, or rotor. The slang term for this, slop, describes the condition well. Some OEMs use the term axial slop to describe endplay.
