Help Needed - rear wheel bearing collapsed?

[Fatboy]

Hi Everyone,

Need some help please - I think my rear wheel bearing might have collapsed on the way home - it made a couple of tinkling noises in the car park at work, I felt an odd shimmy, pulled over, couldn't see anything wrong so kept going (gently), then felt another shimmy, stopped, couldn't hear anything or see anything, was only half a mile from home so kept going very slowly and it started to make a grinding noise - stopped again, still couldn't see anything so nursed it the 1/4 mile os so home, got it up on axle stands to see this:





There doesn't seem to be a retaining ring or anything missing, compared to the other side, just looks to have totally collapsed?





Is it the wheel bearing? Is this going to be a part from down under?

Cheers

is the retaining nut still on the driveshaft

MF might have parts for it, but I would not be driving that any further.

If you're lucky it will just need a new bearing.

If unlucky it could need a new CV joint, hub and bearing ( and maybe driving flange )

Thanks guys -it's up on axle stands, not planning on driving it until it's sorted - I think the nut is still in place... will check in the morning...

I think the nut is still there - without taking the disc off it all seems to be (doesn't seem to pull out)

Here's the outer face of the hub:



Monkfish have a bearing in stock and I've booked it in with the local garage I use (Keith Edwards Motorsport in Ulverston) for next week - hopefully I haven't wrecked anything else!!!!

I'll get the other side done ASAP (Monkfish only had 1 in stock), as I figure if one has gone the other can't be far behind...

You're in Ulverston! Me and the wife both work in Ulverston. I am just down the road in Barrow, not seen another Monaro about though, soon to be moving to Thwaites near Millom.

I'm not a million miles away- I'm based near Penrith.

Didn't realise there were other Monaros in Cumbria

I work in Barrow - is yours the silver Monaro - think I've seen it in the morning headed on the A590 towards Ulverston....

Hi Gary,

I replied - did you get it?

Cheers,

Hi Everyone,

Just an update to say that it's fixed - I got two new wheelbearings from Monkfish (speedy service as usual, thanks!) and the guys at Keith Edwards Motorsport in Ulverston fitted them last week (I picked it up today) - fortunately nothing else was damaged, just the offside wheelbearing, which practically fell out, the nearside took a while to get out, but that's now replaced as well :-)

Cheers for the help everyone :-)

Interesting, same type of assembly for the Carlton, does the vxr8 have same design ?
