Also look at the gaps around the wheels. These are not the same wheels. I would think somebody hit an object which damaged the original wheel and axle spindle. They probably changed the wheel and brake hub, but didn't want to go to the expense of changing the axle after damaging it.
How are the tires wearing? If that spindle was damaged, you might have abnormal alignment wear.
You are right. The ones with the bad spindle are newer, just checked undercarriage and looks ok. Next remove the wheels and hub..- Also look at the gaps around the wheels.

Looks like you kissed a curb or some other object, which bent the housing and took out the zerk. Since it's used, probably PO.
Got it, will see if other looks the same- Looks like you kissed a curb or some other object, which bent the housing and took out the zerk. Since it's used, probably PO.
