I'm Flying down the freeway as about 80mph (stupid )..... I notice a slight pull to my left and hear a grinding noise that quickly went away as quickly as it came...... I slowed my speed anyway thinking Oh Shhh! what did I burn up now!!! about a mile later I lose control of the Truck at about 45-50mph because I was already coming up on my exit. by the grace of GOD the mini van next to me managed to steer clear. I came to a stop at the shoulder safely and found that my front wheel bearings had a melt down!!!!
The crazy part is that about 7months ago the bearing wore out so I purchased new rotors, bearings and i used High temp disc brake bearing grease on both sides.... 4 months later one of the rotors broke where the bearings sit. so I had to return the rotor and bearings and installed new ones again (covered by warranty still) . it has only been about 3 months since. Now once again???? Its only the driver side... The passanger side has held up fine each time...
