wheel bearing failure left front
Posting here because i run 275/45R22 tires/wheels and was wondering if anyone has had a wheel bearing failure.
I was driving home from work at 60 MPH and the steering wheel started to vibrate bad, thought I had a flat, all the wheels were good but had a noticeable rotational hum during acceleration.
Limped to the shop and the front left bearing was destroyed.
I just passed 45,000 miles and only drive a few times a week, highway only to work.
Is this normal? Anyone else have this happen.
Thanks

need advice
Ok, need some assistance from the F-150 experts.
Now the dude, at the shop is telling me the only way to get the front left wheel bearing is with the rotor attached... He wants to order that assembly, but I have my drilled rotors on and don't want 1 mismatched rotor. (there's nothing wrong with them, less than 10k on them). He says it only comes as one assembly and cannot separate the rotor. I want to raise the BS flag, but I am not sure. I just want a new wheel bearing and all of my rotors to remain, is this possible?
oh yeah its an XLT 2007 Scab, 4.6 4x2

At a local parts store a couple of years ago, I paid $150 each for the 4x2 rotor and bearing. There is a company that makes a replacement hub for the 4x2 and you use the same bearing the 4x4 uses. It's made by Centric I think. Use the Advanced Search and see what you get when you enter Centric.
