Disco 2 Posts: 4398  | Severe bearing failure What happens if your front wheel bearing fails and you keep driving. This off a 280GE the owner kept driving it to destruction. Unbeleivable.

Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | Re: Severe bearing failure Braingears - 2/25/2007 11:50 PM What was the extent of the damage? I see a broken shaft, brake pads & rotor due to heat, full set of bearings. Anything else? The swivel housing is damaged beyond use, the axle tube is badly damaged internaly but my go again, the rest is as you say,shaft bearings disc caliper pads hoses, not yet sure about steering and track arm joints, "heat damage" and the alloy rim is scored and heat damaged.  | |
