just need a new bearing and axle, the knuckle got beat up a little too. I already ordered the knuckle, bearing and axle. She will be back up and running 45 min after i get the parts. It was the passenger side. Bearing never made a noise, just went south

at least your ok and you did not get in an accident or anything.
today, where i live, some pedestrian stepped in front of a semi truck!
So at least you didnt lose control or anything and you can repair it.

maybe you should have got the camber kit and set the camber instead of running all that negitive camber and side loading a bearing that was never designed to be side loaded and that failed because it was side loaded. just a thought, sorry to hear your having major issues.
