I was driving to work and all of the sudden the front drivers side wheel just locked up and put me sideways at 40 mph. I dont know how I saved it, but a 6" lifted BII with 33's going sideways on pavement is scary! I thought it was gonna roll. I am just lucky that no one was in the other lane because it pulled me right over into the oncoming traffic lane.
Found out both wheel bearings are destroyed and when the wheel locked up it spun the nut on the spindle, taking it out too.
I will fix it, but now I am afraid to even drive the thing on the highway for fear this might happen again.
Has anyone else had issues with the front wheel bearings going out? I imagine the 10" wide rims arent helping them, but I only put about 1500 miles on the thing with the lift & wheels & tires.
