one of my wheel bearings failed where the CV axle end rides and tore up the bearings running surface on the axle. I'd sure like to put a new end on my CV axle, rather than replacing the whole shaft.
It was pretty full of dirt and mud inside the hub/iwe area, and I feel this could have easily been prevented by maintenance. Started making a noise like I was driving on rumble strips the other day, and I assumed the IWE failed. Got it apart last night and the small bearing inside the wheel hub had come apart, needle bearings everywhere and galled up the axle shaft. I ordered a new wheel hub, and I'll get the numbers off the inner bearings before I put it back together.
