| Three times the left front inner wheel bearing has disintegrated allowing rotor to fall down on spindle, with no indication of bearing failure, no noise whatsoever.this most recent incident tire wheel rotor came completely off spindle at 70 m.p.h. the outer bearing still full of grease . indication that there is instantanious discenergration of inside bearing. i believe spindle was turned to small by a few thousands allowing race to break loose. i am blessed to have walked away from this engneering diaster called ford econoline. i am 53 years old @ have had more problems with this van than all of the other vehicles i have ever owned.*ak | |||
