So figured I’d make a post on this, but about a week and a half ago I ended up in the ditch on the way home from the Ranger station I work out of. My front left wheel started making some weird ass noises so I was about to pull over and check, and something clunked. Next thing I know the front left drops as I’m already turning to the shoulder and I’m in the ditch. Truck suffered no damage luckily, besides what caused my misfortune. My front left lower control arm, wheel bearing and hub basically detonated and the wheel managed to go free ***** a couple hundred feet down the ditch. Had to get it towed the rest of the way obviously but I collected all the parts that broke that I could find. The mechanic that fixed the truck for me thinks I made an enemy because he was showing me what he says are tool marks on some of the damaged components. So yeah that was exciting. And expensive.
