CWLONGSHOT Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Wheel fell of going 60 on the freeway. Turns out the unit bearing came apart. WOW.. You OK man??? That's one freak in scary experience!!!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Both my daughter and I are fine. I was amazed how stable the truck was and how easy it was to control even though I was missing a wheel and skiing on the lower ball joint. It seems the bearing ceased, which explains why it was pulling to the right. Once I had it pulled off the road and stopped, the left over part of the outer axle shaft was glowing red for about 10 minutes. Grease was boiling out off the upper ball joint, and the pavement around the knuckle (which had dug in by then) was burning. A friend of mine has most all parts needed to fix it and should have them ready for me to pick up in Cleveland tomorrow evening. With a bit of luck (yeah, right! All my luck us bad luck...) the truck should be back on 4 wheels and drivable by the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 i installed the shifter and had to kill my hand-throttle cable to do so, so i'll be needing another one of those. (bike shop!) also decided to hammer the floor more before i decide to cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
