Typically, these sorts of long-term wear-and-tear symptoms will also cause damage to ball joints, tie rods, struts, and other chassis/suspension components.
How to become afalconer
The Falconer was designed at the order of Hanse Davion to create a 'Mech that could tame the Jade Falcons and defeat a Clan OmniMech in one-on-one combat. The Falconer is powered by a General Motors 375 XL engine that propels the 'Mech to a top speed of 86.4 km/h. This speed is enhanced with greater mobility by five Devil A7 jump jets that allow the Falconer to jump the considerable distance of one hundred and fifty meters. The Falconer also saves weight to carry as many weapons as possible by using a lightweight Endo Steel chassis and carries eleven and a half tons of Valiant Chainmail armor plating, which gives the Falconer a respectable amount of armor protection.
It starts with a noise. With the radio on and wind from the windows, it’s easy to ignore at first. But the more miles you drive, that subtle noise grows to a metal on metal grinding sound you can’t ignore.
Production of the Falconer in the Lyran Commonwealth halted during the Jihad when the Word of Blake inflicted massive damage on the TharHes Industries plant.[5]

Premature wear can also be caused by transient current flow, which is the friction created by faulty electrical grounds which allow current to build up on the moving parts of the chassis. Vehicles build up static electricity during operation and this is usually dissipated by the vehicle’s ground points. Bad ground points = bad news.
The symptoms of a bad wheel bearing are relatively straightforward: You’ll hear a grinding noise until you’re driving fast enough that road noise masks it (50mph and faster). The noise indicates metal-on-metal rubbing at a fast rate and comes from the faulty bearings scraping against their housing and, worse, the wheel hub around them.
You might notice other signs as well, including wobbly steering or uneven wear on your tires. These are all signs of your wheel bearing going bad, and they should all be taken seriously. Otherwise, you may end up losing the wheel while driving, which could be catastrophic.
Two other problems that are often left undiagnosed when wheel bearings repeatedly fail are a worn bearing hub and transient current flow through the knuckle. If the bearings were grinding or otherwise making their failure known for any period of time, it’s likely that the bearing hub took some damage. When removed, it will show signs of scraping or dimpling. It may also be out of round. Any of these means the hub should be replaced.

The most common cause for wheel hub bearing failure is impact. When the tire and wheel hit an object or road defect hard, the bearings can be damaged. Likewise, broken or worn seals can allow moisture or debris into the hub, causing the bearings to deteriorate.
The Falconer carries a weapons mix that attempts to negate the range advantage of the weapons used by the Clans. The primary weapon on the 'Mech is a Poland Main Model A Gauss rifle, which is capable of stripping a ton of armor off an enemy unit at extreme ranges. It is backed up by a Defiance 1001 ER PPC, having a similar range profile to the Gauss Rifle and doing about a third less damage, but not dependent upon ammunition. Finally, the Falconer carries four Defiance B3M medium lasers to give it a powerful close range punch.
