Severe turning issue!

[tommyboi87]

Back yet again in need of more help and advise. So, while in the middle of slow sharp left turns, it feels like the whole hub assembly is about to fall off! it even makes the truck wobble throughout the sharpest point of the turn. Haven't noticed any shakes in the steering wheel, steering is tight and responsive. Only time a problem occurs is during sharp left turns. I took it in for an alignment two weeks ago. The technician said all the steering components were in good working order except for the wheel bearings. He said they were good, just had a little slack in them so he tightened them up. Could my bearings be bad and he just didn't notice it, or is something else wrong?

IIRC the wheel bearings have to be properly torqued down. If he tightened it up by just running that ***** in with an impact he may have just screwed you. Like I said tho that could be something else I'm thinking of, hopefully somebody else will chime in

^This.

Ten thousand times this.

Yay I got it right

I'd call the shop and see if they can tell you if an impact was used. I also wouldn't have them replace it because if they did it once they'll do it again

 

[tommyboi87]

Ok, so if he messed my truck up, by law I have to beat his ass, right? Or am I thinking of another law?

 

[saintsreturn]

That law sounds vaguely familiar.

I believe that's the "tire iron" law, whereby when someone in a garage intentionally ***** something up so they can sell you something, you can legally go in and beat that **** with a tire iron then leave.
