Bannon, sorry for the delayed response. I haven't logged in for quite some time. I first new I had a problem when I heard the noise coming from the wheel assembly. A quick peek at the assembly showed minor amounts of black grease in between the halfshaft end and the upright. I jacked the wheel off the ground and found that I had side to side play with the wheel. The new bearing and hub fixed the problem. I'm not sure why or how it failed so quick but the the replacement is holding up just fine.

Should you have the same problem and plan to fix it yourself, know that the wheel bearing is a common stock Ford bearing (the same that fits a Windstar minivan) and the hub is from Ford Racing part listed under kit car hub.

I hope this helps. If you need the part #s or anything else, do not hesitate to ask.
