Hey guys.......haven't posted anything new on here for awhile since my car had been behaving. However, I just got my car out of the shop and dropped about 550 dollars to have my RF wheel bearing replaced and new pads/resurface rotors. The good news.....my car no longer screeches when I come to a stop and I no longer have that annoying noise of a failing wheel bearing. Here is the catch though......
The noise from my wheel bearing has been going on for quite some time and the last two times I had it in the shop, they did an oil change/tire rotation and replaced my RF wheel speed sensor. Now, how in the hell did they not notice the wheel bearing when they did that work considering the noise was present at both times? They attributed it to tire wear.....which is also odd considering I only have 10000 miles on the tires. Also for the past few months I have been trying to get my car's alignment looked at because something wasn't right and they kept blowing me off. I have had the car aligned twice by the same guys who worked on my car. I finally got sick and tired of the BS and took it to Sears and they found my wheel bearing was bad and that the toe on my car was all jacked.
And to think.......I work at the dealership where I got my car worked on. I took the print-out from the alignment Sears did and then the dealership I worked at asked me what I hit with my car. I said nothing and put it on the lift and asked them to show me what I hit and then I showed them the wheel bearing that they didn't catch the last two times I had my car in the shop. So.....what should I do? If I bark too loud, I will get fired.
