The bearing spun in the hub and opened it up about 0.015".... I didn't have the usual bad-bearing rumbling, it would squeal for the first 1/4 mile. So I don't doubt that the hub was damaged beyond repair. I just question Porsche's design. Seems that VW/Porsche/Audi wheel bearings have always been trouble. Had a Jetta years ago that I kept changing wheel bearings on in sequence around the car.
