In the sort of light duty applications where I've encounterd the noise,
there is no immediate threat of failure. This condition can continue for
years, with the worst factor being slightly reduced performance, and the
annoyance of the noise.

When the bearing and or shaft contact surfaces get to a point of wear,
the shaft no longer spins around it's center axis, but instead, starts
this chatter as it rattles it's way around the inside circumference of
the bearing.

Hopefully, someone will know this term, Thanks,

How about."Its going to break soon. very soon."
