At the end of the day it don't matter what make of truck you have if you mod it and play hard it's gonna break at some point,Ive seen quite a few landrovers fecked on play sites so if you have a l200 or a landrover eventually you will need to repair the fecker. My mate has a 6" lift on his disco and it's never out the garage getting drive shafts and uj's replaced as they only last months with the stress of the severe angles with the lift,and that's driving on tarmac. So now it's going in to get lowered after a lot of money thrown at it .
Ya picks ya marque ya takes ya chance.

Atleast its not just me who's had bad luck with spacers and wheel bearings. Which reminds me I need to check my passenger side again and see how the new second hand hub is holding out. UJs, cv boots and wheel bearings...the staple diet of an l200. Well mine at least. And track rod ends and steering idlers lol.

I had to do my bearings were rumbling for ages, not spacer related at all.
Inner bearing caked in a rusty dirty grease mess and wasn't really spinning same on both sides,
Inner seal and water ingress the cause,
If they have burnt up could be lack of grease or over tightened ect.
When I did mine I had to buy a tub of grease the Lil pack that came in the first-line kit is a bit optimistic lol managed to properly pack one bearing lol

The maintenance I do is accurate both sides front and rear are done every time I off road it last time was about a month after the Peak District green lanes, they where we'll greased and reset brakes serviced at same time so I definitely can't put it down to bad maintenance.

Must have been end of life for them then and the motorway murdered them ?
We're they old bearings ? If not old what brand ?
I know the first-line kit comes with koyo ones.

I am just putting it down to one of life's little adventures.
As a point though for what they cost and doing the job myself I am going to make it a service item and renew them once a year in the spring after all the mud and salt
