Sorry, i should have also explain what happen.. so those 2 nice girl went for a trip across Canada and the US, well, not anymore. Before the trip i have inspected the Westy the best i could, it was in good shape. Sadly, on route 11, north of Lake Superior, the outter front left bearing felled, she heard the noise but kept on driving.... the bearing went away fast, and yes, the front disk ate the shaft/spindle, when they arrived to the first shop, it was to late. Even the tire touch the upper arm. She call me and told me she felt stupid about keeping driving with that noise... but! they call CAA and CAA (Same as AAA) told her they could not help her for some unknown reason. As they felt kind of lost in the wood, in the middle of nowhere, no town, nothing for more than 100 miles, they kept going...

Anyway, they found a great mechanic that will help them, he his maried!!! ha ha, i spoke to him this afternoon, i nice fellow. Tomorrow, they (his wife and kids) will bring them on a cruise on the Superior lake...

Life is not that bad, even with van problems.

Ben
