Double-row spherical roller bearings can carry thrust (as allowed by the equivalent load formula). The clearance (IRC) stated in the catalog is for an unmounted bearing. When the bearing is mounted with an interference fit on the shaft (or in the housing) some of that clearance is removed.

Rings are hardened and annealed to obtain hardness 57 ~ 64 HRC.
Balls are hardened 63~66 HRC.
Bearing hardness has nothing to do with your problem.
The inner ring and ball set is being heated and expanded in diameter at a faster rate than the outer ring, which is mounted in a gigantic air cooled...
I’m back. Sorry I did not diagnose your problem but you have provided the information required. I have seen this failure many times.

Regarding your wishbone application it depends whether its an existing car design, an upgrade kit from a kit supplier, or whether it is a DIY attempt by yourself. For the first two options one would hope that they got bearing selection...
