I think after that much of a walloping, it would be time for a new bearing kit. They're a relatively good price these days (I paid more for them 20 years ago on 90s wages), so its a good thing.
I can't tell what's at fault here from the picture, the bearing or the CV, but yeah the bearing will be stuffed now. Its possible that's a loctite product on the CV. I'm not sure why someone would put it there, but it has that red coloured look about it.
Cheers Mick, there was definitely no loctite type products on it. My dad and i installed them last year and nothing was put on like that.
Could there be any other factors that could've caused this beside the cv or the bearings? Such as a suspension issue? Maybe not quite enough grease perhaps?
I'm just devastated - thought it'd be a nice simple swap to hardy spicers, but I can't be that lucky haha
