OMG My Wheel Bearing * Video *

So I go and get an alignment and was shooting for -2 camber and toe close to spec . Front checked out good , rear driver was perfect and set and they couldn't get the passenger side rear dialed in and advised I replace my knuckle and they adjusted camber to 1.7 and toe was really off ( have SPC toe kit ) I'm running rear rolled fenders 255/35/20 tires on a 20x10.5 wheel - 2 offset . Sh#t rubbed bad that side only and height and everything set to my liking so i decided to jack her up and this is what I found .. Dealer fail on their diagnosis ...

Very dangerous , I could imagine losing a wheel at 80mph man I would die ..I checked all the sides and they are good except that one , those wheels are the unpopular Volk GTC's lol .

Wow that's probably the worst busted wheel bearing I've ever seen. That's crazy.

Good choice on the color of your GT-C's since your G is LR.

seems like your wheels is loose. In the video your rotors do not shake with the wheel, but they do rest on the hub as well so why aren't they shaking?
