Consumer Description

WITHOUT WARNING MY REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY KEEP BRAKING. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SHIMMY AND PULL AND MAKE GRINDING NOISES AND THE WHEEL IS PRACTICALLY FALLING OFF BY THE TIME I GET HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 6 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR! SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY AND MY WHEEL HASN'T FALLEN COMPLETELY OFF, ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TWICE IN THE LAST 2 YEARS SO AS SOON AS I FEEL SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY I HAVE IT CHECKED! IT IS TERRIFYING WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE WHOLE WHEEL WOBBLES AND GOING SLOW ONLY MAKES IT SEEM WORSE. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HUB ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $300.00 PLUS EACH TIME! *TR
