Hi all. so i was out with a couple of mates on the weekend doing some wheelin when all of a sudden crunch. it was a bit of a mystery to begin with but we soon narrowed it down to my wheel bearings. After gettin the car home and inspecting the damage i have found that it was all pretty messy inside. totally collapsed. now my question is this. After taking off the outer locking rings there is what i presume once was a flat type of washer/spacer to hold everything in. Its pretty minced up and was wondering whether i should just try clean it up or source a new/ secondhand one somewhere. Is it going to be a suzuki genuine thing?
All the rest seems salvagable. New bearing will be going in obviously.
just get a new one, they normally have a little tab that puts them in the right place... i was in a zook that was doin 90km down a hill when a front wheel bearing sh*t it, and locked up...

Thats what the disk brake and caliper are for wheel retention system
