I booked my car in for a front wheel bearing to be replaced. My wife collected the car and it wasn't used for a couple of days, we have other cars. On the M25 I noticed an odd noise, but the garage had said that the other wheel bearing was also worn, initially I put the noise down to that. I was quite concerned and pulled off on the A21 to see if there was anything obviously wrong. The following day I was going out through Burwash and the noise became seriously loud, especially on a right hand bend. I pulled into the car park in the village, still could not see anything obviously wrong but decided to check the wheel nuts. THE ONES ON THE FRONT NEARSIDE WHEEL WERE LOOSE ENOUGH TO BE TURNED BY FINGER! The nuts on the offside wheel were of varying tightness. It was the offside bearing that was replaced. I went to the garage the following day to explain what had happened and was greeted by little more than a blank stare and an I'll look into it. having assured me that wheel nuts are always checked with a torque wrench. I am certain that the nuts on both front wheels were loosened, and possibly both wheels removed, although the offside bearing was the one worked on. The wheels and nuts were replaced but not torqued up, consequently with the rotation of the wheels the offside ones may have tightened a little, but because of the turning motion, particularly under braking nearside nuts will always undo themselves if left loose Have the garage got back to me having 'looked into it? NO. Bad quality control and poor PR. read more
