Default Ok, I'm not driving my car till this problem is solved...I could have died.

I was goin down the highway normal speed, 65-70ish cuz my speedo's off by 4mph give or take. I was in 5th gear. And the right front tire locked up for just a split second and spun me sideways towards the center divider, luckily I hit my friends rear driver door with my bumper and it kind of spun me back, i almost went off the road and corrected it. I was mad that he was on the side of me and the exit was comming up, but now im just thankful.

Sounds to me like you need to be taking a hub off and replacing a wheel bearing too. h:

I love that DIY. It gets used all the time.

I'm experiencing a weird feeling now. Like I keep thinking I could have died, but at the same time, I'm happy I kept my cool and controlled the situation, and there combining and I feel like shit.

Anxiety i think.

oh man.... thats a close call...

bearings are expensive...60-80 bucks...

you'll have to pull the suspention apart, and have that piece taken to the machine shop so they can press that bearing out and install a new one...

that sucks..
