| Description of the problem | About two weeks prior i stated to hear a scrapping sound like the brakes were worn down. The sound would come and go. Then i parked the truck. I got ready to leave the business i was at. I pull out from the curb and went about 50 feet and the truck stopped. I back up a little then went forward and stopped again. I immediately pull into a parking lot and got out and checked the right front tire. It hung off the hub at a 45 degree angle. The next day i went back to see what was wrong. I jacked the truck up and the wheel came right off. The wheel bearings had melted into the hub. I have not notified any one about this. I bought the truck used 2 years ago from a dealer. So i do not know if i have original or replacement parts. It cost me over $300 to get the truck repaired. The guy that repaired it said this was his second one in a week. Now i have to get a front end alignment. My tire are wearing out on the inside. |
