Wheel flew off while driving. Luckily nobody got hurt. Not really sure how this happened.


Wheel hub is done as well as drum brakes. Looking for parts recommendations.

 

Weird. Running a wheel spacer by chance?

Is the wheel hub really done or does it just need new races, bearings and a lug stud? If needed, should be able to find another hub off a rear diff at a pick and pay salvage yard..

 

I would expect the hub/bearings are likely just fine. New studs/nuts are definitely in order though. I might be tempted to replace the drum as well.

 

I went with Napas SKF brand for all my bearings and other driveline stuff. Pretty happy so far. Wasnt cheap but its not any kind of race brand.

 

Just as an FYI, SKF bearings are widely available through numerous auto outlets and are not exclusive to NAPA.

 

Ahh.. kk. I didnt know that. I was expecting to go with all moog & spicer but moog has really dipped in refent years apparently. When they cut my driveshaft down they put a spicer ujoint in because the yolks werent exactly the same and needed a special one.

 

From the looks the nuts came off and the drum was riding on the hub. How did you not hear/feel this? You may want to check all the other lug nuts as they may be loose also.
