Thanks Lloyd, it was just junk Chinese bearings, no warning growl they just imploded, two loud bangs, a squeal then the wheel started shaking, no brakes, just coasted to the side on the parking brake. The outfit I got the IFS from loaded it up with the cheapest parts they could get. When I checked the other side, the bearing cages were rusted while still coated in grease, they were well lubed before the trip. I figure the rollers had very little hardfacing and just exploded. I ordered all new spindles, rotors, bearings and seals from an American manufacturer, today.
