TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL DETACHED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TIRES WERE ROTATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE.

THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 240,000.

WHILE I WAS CHANGING THE PASSENGER SIDE DRIVE AXLE OF A BROKEN CV JOINT BOOT LAST YEAR (JULY 2014), I NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED OUT (ABOUT 60% CAME THROUGH AND OFF WHEN I PUNCHED THE AREA WITH A SCREW DRIVER) WHERE THE STABILIZING BAR BRACKET AND LOWER CONTROL ARM PIVOT ARE MOUNTED TO THE FRAME. THE PROBLEM AREA OF THE SUBFRAME IS RIGHT UNDER THE DRAIN HOLE FOR THE A/C EVAPORATOR. THE SUBFRAME TO THE DRIVER SIDE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO RUST ISSUE. THE LOCATION OF THE RUST AREA SUGGESTS THAT IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE DRAIN HOLE OF THE A/C SYSTEM OR/AND SOMETHING SIMILAR (SUCH AS RAIN) THAT HAD LED TO WATER STAYING IN THE AREA. THE RUST IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. I CHECKED IT TODAY (JULY 23, 2015) AFTER NOTICING YELLOWISH DRIPPING MARKS LEFT ON THE DRIVER WAY. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR...

REAR BEARING HAD BEEN WHINING FOR ALMOST A YEAR, BUT I WAS BLAMING THE TIRES SINCE THE POSSIBILITY OF BEARING FAILURE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE DID NOT OCCUR TO ME. BEARINGS USUALLY LAST AT LEAST 100,000 MILES. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEIZURE IN THE BEARINGS AND A RESULING ACCIDENT. DT
