total front wheel bearing failure

Post by greg donovan »

apparently my right front wheelbearing has failed so badly that the rotor is sitting crooked and rubbing against the caliper bracket. :shock:

the discs are totally trashed. should have been replaced a LONG time ago.

on the plus side diagnosing this problem has helped me become very quick at changing brake pads.

when the wheel is on the car and it is down on the ground you can see that the wheel has a ridiculous amount of positive camber.
