full story. pullin into parking spot at walmart. felt like i hit a bump, then i look to the side and see my wheel just rolling away. when i looked at it the bearings were just fucked pieces spread out everywhere. when i touched the brake rotor that was still attached to my rim it was just breaking off with no force. ordered the new parts last night picking them up today should be good to go after i rip off the other ones to check them.

That's some serious stuff man...

Guessing you had no idea there was any issues? No warning at all to this?

Figured you'd have some sort of vibration or even a slight noise?
