25,000 miles and bearing blew
so when driving home today from eating lunch the inner and outer bearing exploded on the driverside, the outer bearing is seized on the spindle shaft so looks like a new spindle and rotor must be obtained. Im really pissed off right now this is rediclous. my luck too.
and i have to be on the road by tomorrow or im ****ed

quite doubful as I ran that drop, actually his drop on his truck is my old kit...
If anything it was due to running the big tires he ran when his truck was lifted or something wasnt put together correctly after doing suspension work.

Wheel bearings are waaaay overkilled in design. Even with a bad offset load or weird wheel/tire it should'nt go out at only 25k miles. Maybe up around 100k I'd say it's possible. But not at 25k.
Sounds to me like it either was out of spec (size) or not sufficiently greased.
Is it now running quieter than before the failure?
