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.

L200 not really hgv??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 am thinking against the 35s now for that reason well maybe not 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.

#1490 by yozer13 , Sat May 14, 2016 11:45 am

Wonder if it's a brand failing not just spacers ?

#1491 by woody13 , Sat May 14, 2016 11:57 am

Shzt happens and components fail for whatever reason,as long as nobody got hurt and everybody gets home safe,thats all that matters.

#1492 by Major Malfunction , Sat May 14, 2016 12:19 pm

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

#1493 by woody13 , Sat May 14, 2016 12:32 pm

Not a bad idea Dave...

Root cause turned out to be damaged seals behind the needle bearings and not the spacers, although the spacer didn't help.

#1495 by 123hotchef , Sat May 14, 2016 6:34 pm

when ya take it in mud and water those seals nee to be tip top

I got my wheels back to how they should be and now have no nails left as I've sanded them down to the point they bled lol.
Got quotes of around £330 to do what cost me about £40 in all and did a top job if I may say so myself
