Consumer Description
PER DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR, MY TRUCKS WHEEL SUB-ASSEMBLY WAS DAMAGED FROM AN OVER-TORQUED CENTER NUT (DURING MANUFACTURE ASSEMBLY). THIS CONDITION CAUSED THE BEARINGS TO SEIZE AND SUPERHEAT, THEY HAVE BEEN CUTTING INTO THE AXLE AND THE HEAT EXPANSION CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL (LOCKED ON, BUT STEERING HAS NOT BEEN PULLING). PARTS NEEDING REPLACEMENT INCLUDE: AXLE; CALIPER; HUB AND BEARINGS; ROTOR; CENTER NUT; CENTER CAP.
