Driving with the wife today when the front outer bearing/spindle (sp?) went out. Luckily, we were on a deserted back road when it happened. I was able to shut it down immediately and call for a flatbed. I've had the van for two months and the PO said the bearings had just been packed when I bought it (claimed he did it himself - no receipt). There was little warning (had noticed a slight intermittent squeak in the front right of the van). Had it towed to the local VW Shop. I'll know more on Monday I guess. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? I'm just glad we weren't cruising on the highway when it happened. Interested in your thoughts.
