Shout out to
@Allsouth Autosports @Danny Kinder and the techs for working me in. Apparently after 80k + miles i finally blew the pass Hub Assembly. it was hanging on barely, we think the brake caliper was kind of holding it together. however, the rotor was toast. looked like someone took a grinder to it.
The caliper was still in good shape, but the rotor was blown as was the pads. the driver Assembly hub seemed good but u could hear a slight start of it to make noise, and catch. signs that failure is not to far behind.
We went ahead and replaced the other rotor and hub Assembly so every thing is balances. OCD, maybe but at least i know things are even and 100%. drives great, breaks actually work, i was struggling to stop this morning as i arrived at Allsouth.
I did not have them remove the spacers, slipped my mind until i was home. maybe i will do that nxt time i rotate the tires.
Thanks for working me in, getting this fixed.
At Allsouth getting new rotors and front wheel hub assembly’s my passenger one blew scary.

what did it do Kent?
I have replaced unit bearings due to being worn/loose with play it them but have never have one completely break down while driving.
@tcdawg Was making a noise, and it suddenly got worse, really bad. it had not fallen off, but appears the caliper was helping hold it on. just glad i got it fixed. .
Good time to remove those spacers. You shouldn't need them for clearance, and they just add to the stress seen at the ball joints and hubs
@patman I did not see your post until they already had it assembled, but the tech also mentioned back spacing. i asked him about the extra pressure stress and he said unless you wheel hard i should be ok. but felt as if with the 37's i may have inner rubbing when turning that i may not expect. i said nxt time i rotate the tires i may remove one of them, and see if i have any rubbing, i will make the decision then. but thanks. i understand what your saying.
