    You can flex the rubber 1/4 inch? If so that's prob ok. Usually when the rubber starts getting weak itll kinda of sag in it.
    If you can see slack in the actual bearing it's done.

    Yeah, the rubber will flex about that. You sorta have to look past the rubber and look at the bearing itself, or if the bearing is chewing into the rubber.
