Brake caliper hanging up. Rotor getting hot. Cooking bearing.
Bearing fails and all evidence of sticking caliper is gone.
Torquing nut,I jam a pry bar into the brake disc vent and lay the ft-lbs to it.
Hundreds of bearings changed.
I recall the static electricity causing wheel bearing failure,but struts,rack and driveline would allow static buildup. Not the case with a 4x4 full size pick me up.
I will look into this also. I replaced the pads and rotors and the hoses on both side when I replaced the bearing so wouldn't one side be wore significantly more if it is sticking? I will check for unusually wear when I take it apart.
