So i had a fun experience today.

A little while ago my mechanic told me the front bearings would need to be replaced soon. No dramas.

Driving to work this morning started hearing a grinding noise while driving then a clicking/clunking noise while turning. Firgured mustve been the front bearings. Started looking around at kit prices at work (might as well get paid to do it).

Started the drive home and grinding noise horrible with what also sort of sounded like rubber rubbing but could of just been the horrible squeak noise.

Getting towards home and at a nice downhill section felt a shudder and clunk and steering went loose. Tried to apply brakes but foot straight to the floor. Shite i thought. Luckily no one infront of me and was able to safely stop.

Stopped. No leaking fluid. Brake fluid fine. Couldn't see any obstruction with the pads. And auto hubs bloody hot to barely touch.

To the floor. Any ideas? Hoping a simple replace bearings job or wishful thinking. Sorry for the long post also.
