RF wheel speed sensor failed. When tech pulled the assembly apart, the top of the sensor was sheered off. Suspect that something had failed inside bearing assembly. Ordered bearing assembly. Upon removal, the spacer between the end of the CV shaft had self-destructed, sheered the wheel speed sensor and sent shrapnel into the inboard section of the wheel bearing. Replaced.
