I literally happen out of nowhere, car was driving fine, no noise no nothing. Abs lights went one I pulled over, smelt very slight burning smell, got car towed, went to put on hub bearing yesterday and spindle was spinning with locking nut, it was moving very slightly in and out. Then locking nut and piece of spindle fell off, all the little oval ***** from bearing fell out, bearing still wouldn’t pull off, piece of the inside of the bearing somehow fused to spindle, I never seen anything like it. So now need passanger steering knuckle with spindle. Past month this car been money pit. Only 91k miles and I take car of it so idk, I bought it for 9500$ I’m fixing and selling. I can probably get 14k so it is what it is I guess I really don’t want to sell it, body mint, I changed all the belts and few others but it’s just one thing after another now unfortunately

Ya the car was driving absolutely fine, didn’t notice no noise nothing, when the abs lights went on , I drove it like 200 feet and I heard a crunching noise then I parked it, this was next day after I got it towed , I rolled windows down during the daylight so I can hear where it coming from I think that’s when it happen
