The wheel was wobbling as it spun!!! He took the hub off and the right rear outer wheel bearing had DISINTEGRATED!!!! In pieces!! Outer rim was cracked and the inner lattice holding the bearings was in pieces. Hi there, I'm wondering why they don't catch the bearing problem as they worked at your brakes. I think a good mechanic would figure this. But Midas is a muffler shop and wheel bearings are too far away from the muffler. Good that Frank could help you. Nice guy in MHOP. Hartmut |
