Use of retarders and their effects on drive axles, wheel bearing, and drive unit bearings under varying driving conditions and speeds is examined; it seems that use of retarders for vehicle control during downhill operation has little effect on wheel bearing life but it does have substantial effect on drive unit bearing life; as long as conditions leading to surface destruction are avoided, life of drive gears is not likely to be affected by use of retarders.
