other 911! Need help. 69 1600 in LA.

[ldsbeaker]

Hello all.

Tried to infiltrate the SoCal area today to check out a supercar, about 20 min from my destination and I think the driver's side rear hub bearings are cooked.

Sounds crunchy and thump thump under load only.

Would LOVE some help / advice.

Live in yuma, so a little far from my garage.

At a target just off 91 east of the 710 interchange.

Thanks, and please help!

Luckyyyy!

Couple hours after this video was taken, I drove the 250 miles home, no problems.

So, the car was only down for 12 hours. Pretty decent turn around.

REALLY saved my bacon.

Also, AAA for the ride to a safe place, Mike Pelly who had a halfshaft within 20 feet of where I was working, Mike Burger for his hospitality, Mesa Performance for having the bearings and seals on the shelf... This place and these cars ROCK!!!

That is a great story! All the help, that is one of many reasons to love these cars. The people who own them are great.
