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.

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||

gwagen460swb Extreme Veteran Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Oklahoma City, OK Vehicle(s): 280GE SWB, Toyota Highlander, BMW530i, RR HSE Posts: 513 | Re: Severe bearing failure I had a scare yesterday (Read my post "Chirp! Chirp! Noise; Thank You Wife"). I thought maybe I had some bearing/balljoint damage. All it turned out to be was build-up. This post is an excellent lesson. What were some reasons this happened to this particulatr G on this post? Too much 4x4ing? Play in the joints? Ignoring service/maintenance? Age? I have a lot to be thankful for.
