Reply to "Skidding bearing"

We have tried alvania 3 (NLGI 3) instead of alvania 2 (NLGI 2) but skidding is still present. Maybe we have not taken out the old grease completely and we have a mixture.
I think that noise and vibration is due to the high internal clearance C3.
Possible solutions
1- Change the bearings to a C2 clearance. I do not dare to do that because maybe other problems appear.
2- Change to a grease with more consistency NLGI3 instead of NLGI2 (it seems not to work)
3- I am thinking also about changing to a grease with less viscosity but also NLGI3 consistency. Less viscosity so the temperature in the bearing increases, the bearing expands and internal clearance reduces. However I do not know if this will work either, because increasing the temperature, the consistency decreases. do you know a grease compatible with alvania and that meets this features.
