Thumbs down Truck down

About a week ago i had heard a clunk up front and a little rub. Sounded like an ice just just fell off n got caught for a couple of seconds. Well last night i found out that it was the bearing in the right front spindle. The thing is shot. Took the hub apart and it was in pieces. My dad and i had to unbolt the whole spindle to get it off cuz nuts were basically welded together on the inside. There was so much play that it wore my brake pads down next to nothing. So i guess im not getting my new tips after all. Need money to fix my truck

Sorry to hear that.
There was no warning at all, prior to the clunk?

nothing at all, and i dont know why. I got out of school and it did it. Came back into town and that was it. which is extremely odd for a bearing to go out and not hearing it.

I'll say! Normally there is all kind of noise long before it falls apart and destroys other stuff.
