The bottom cam bearing on my traverse failed a few weeks ago and luckily my LBS was able to expedite a new one from Mathews. My bow is shooting perfectly now but I wanted to share my lesson from this: don't over tighten your axle keepers! @Billy Goat has shared this multiple times on here but here is an example of the failure. My top hats were unusually worn due to my over tightening of the axel bolts keepers. My LBS immediately knew that was the issue before they disassembled my bow.
Here is a pic of the cam and another of the top hats that were removed. The top hat photos don’t do justice to how rough they are.
