Had one (well several) go in my rally car. the last one that went Ruined the spindle, axle, rotor i think the hub actually fell apart when i took the caliper off. somehow it wasn't making any noise but horrible horrible vibrations. felt like a massively out of balance wheel. Seems like my last 3 wheel bearings to go out all had different symptoms . first one felt like a rumble strip when i turned left. the next one was making noises , rumble strip again when turning , then this last one had horrible vibrations ... I should also probably stop fixing my wheel bearings by swapping in a junk yard spindle where the bearing probably has over 100k miles on it ...

hmm maybe i should switch over to using Nissan bearings in my rally car hmmm
