I have 1996 Ford Ranger XLT. Today the spindle that goes to my driver side front tire just snapped off and the bearings completely disintegrated such that the vehicle became unmovable. My tire almost fell off. I have about 200k on the vehicle. This happened with no warning traveling at about 30 mph.
The day before I was hauling a heavy load of bricks. I wondered if that could have caused the problem but my mechanic said "no way - no relation." He also said that he very rarely see's this type of a problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it remotely possible that it was indeed the weight that I was hauling?
