04 f150 wheel bearings falling out
So my 5.4 swapped Stx 4x4 has 131k on body. Leveled on 20/33"s.
Past couple day I heard a weird sound making turns. A whirring sound sometimes. Some added steering wheel shake.Today I felt clicking, crunching, grinding. It Felt like the wheel was about to fall off. ABS light came on. I get home and see pieces on the ground like stubby 1/4" needle bearings or maybe severely destroyed bearings. I can't see where they came from. Grease on CV boot. The passenger wheel is cambered in like hell. Like off an inch from top to bottom. The rotor is scrapping the dust shield.
Has anybody had this problem?!?
Does it sound like I need more then just hub assembly?
Is it worth splurging on the Moog or is generic good enough?
Thanks in advance

I'm hoping
The tires are new Cooper ATPs a/t s. Road noise is not bad. I do have headers and a hooker muffler side pipped. I have felt a click in the steering for some time intermittently, maybe related.
My dad had bad wheel bearings and you could hear and feel it for a long time before fixing. Mine like detonated.

So my hub bearings came in from Detroit Axle.
Paid $52 shipped. Price is ridiculous but said 445 other people bought them so I took the plunge.
Scored new 2 ton AC Delco jack and jack stands for $40.
Gonna do the dirty tomorrow. Watching YouTube videos now. Hoping nothing else is Fubar...

I got the bearings in. My rotor and caliper was damaged. Unfortunately I think I got to rip it apart to put some bearing grease on the smaller exposed bearings. I'm surprised this wasn't already greased.
It was so bad that I pulled the bearing carrier off without bolting the 4 18mm bolts.
Looks good
I guess these are bearings
