this is the result of using [ eBay coils (at half setting down) + small tires (35series) x bigger rims(18x8) / old 8 month Monroe shocks ] idiotic decision making {to the second power} x crappy roads = destroyed wheel bearing

hmm the bearing just fell out of the hub? wow, that shouldn't happen! make sure to get the right seals when you replace it! check out the rest of your suspension while you're down there! what kinda spacer do you use? i know cheap ones will make you pay the consequences. best of luck my friend!

moar low = breaking moar stuff
nah it was my fault, i didnt have the shop (2yrs ago) change the seals because i was short of cash. really regret that now food for thought: change all accompanying seals while you're there now on the hunt for a non abs complete hub assembly.......and its soo friggin hard T__T lolz throw the balls bearing back inside, pack some grease, duct tape, and carefully install and she's good to go only gonna drive the car within 1/2 mile of my house i guess im takin the Taco to work now

Man I hate wheel bearings on our cars, I had one keep going bad and ruining the flanges then had to end up getting an entire new hub.
