That is the first l-body hub failure that I can remember hearing about. I would be very interested in any other information you have. Where these new bearings/spindles or did they come with the car? Any idea how many track miles you have on them?

As Chris already said, get a new halfshaft and obviously I would inspect the other side as well.

I hope everything else is okay and easily repairable.
Matt: As Streetwise said, the flat that holds the wheel bolts sheared away from the hub. Hub still turns, and there was enough rough areas that I could press it back together and winch the car back on the trailer. May have to lift the front off the trailer to get the car into the garage again.

I will take some picks for you as soon as i get it into the garage.

I had replaced both hubs and bearings when I bought the car - back in 02. But I did not get any track time until 2006. Best guess is that there was about 10 track hours on them.
