    I just don't see how the housing can be damaged like this. I really think it is the axle rod being pitted or so.

    So what happens if I put this fancy new bearing into a not perfect housing?

    So maybe I should just get a new housing then?

    Robert, I can't tell that from here. Put a straight edge against it and see if the tubes are true. That is all I can tell you, and is what I would do if it were me. But unless you have hit something very hard, that is not likely the case

    I will show a picture of the bearings with the inner race to my mechanic and see what he says. We shall see.

    Thanks
    For all your help
