Mojave Mojave Rear Hub/bearing play

[5mall5nail5]

So, not sure that anything particularly devastating happened but was cleaning up the truck and noticed the rear wheel had a ton of play. My only upgrades are the M2C extended hubs. What's the best course of repair? Is there are reason the bearing failed? I don't see the race around the axle or anything so not entirely sure what broke yet. Is the hub salvageable or should I go aluminum or a new original hub? Thanks!

That is a shot bearing.

Cool - ordered a Fast Eddy's kit. Looks like it has the inner and outter. I am assuming the hub itself is fine.

You might want a new hub carrier too. It looks melted?

Yeah, looks to me like the bearing locked up completely and ate away some of the inside of the plastic. Even if you got a new bearing the hole might be too big. Either that or the outside part of the bearing is missing haha.

I'll take apart the hub today and see. There were thin washers/seals falling out of it. I didn't notice any melty but it's possible.

I just ordered the Vitavon front and rear hub set w/ oversized bearings just in case the stock hubs are melty. I'll put the new bearings in the stock hubs and bash and then swap to Vitavon later or I'll have them on hand in case more things are broken.

Thanks all!

Hate to tell you new hubs bearing lockup and spun in the hub replaced the bearing to
