Before Bowtech started using the caps they drilled a hole vertically behind the axle to keep the limbs from splitting. Now they cap them.

Mathews uses two sealed bearings in the idler wheel and one bearing and one bushing on the cam. The only teflon spacer is between the bushing and the limb.

Try as I might I cannot see a raised area on my 2006 cams. That look flat as can be all the way to the point I can no longer see. I can see the silver circle of the bearing and they are defiantley rubbing outside of the silver circle, rubbing on the silver part of the cam.

What I do see is a gap on one side of the axle anlged and then flush on the other side of the axle (semi- twisted). I cannot get a piece of dentle floss between the cam and the cap in the locations where it rubs the cap.

Will this matter in time, I dunno.

Looking tonight I noticed my cam is less than 1/16" away from the actual limb at rest. I don't remember it being this close, but never paid too much attention.

Time will tell....

DaveC, without actually seeing it, its hard to tell. My shop did tell me they had to replace cams on a 2k6 Tribute because the bearings were not pressed into the cams correctly. Is it wearing on one side of the cam or both? If its one side, that might make sense. Meaning the cam is "shifted" to that side of the limb split. That is actually what I was thinking was wrong with mine.

Just a thought.

I've been trying my best to get some photo's up here but my camera and wifes adobe program aren't cooperating.

I've taken several photo's but once you get them on the screen it just doesn't look near as explanitory as it does in person.

Here is one attempt-
