My husband checked the wheels and noticed the driver rear had to much negative camber. Checked and notice that two bolts were missing from the rear hub assembly that hold it the axle and the two that were left were very loose that I was lucky the wheel didnt fall out . He checked the passenger side hub assembly and all bolts were loose , he re- torque all bolts to 45 ft lbs as recommend and added blue locke tight tothe bolts and ordered new bolts for the driver rear. …”
NHTSA complaint #10767453, filed 2015-09, 133,083 miles“I started hearing a humming, vibration noise coming from my wheels in november 2007. I took it into the dealership and they replaced the wheel bearings on the r/f. This happened again and again... January 2008 - l/f wheel bearings replaced. June 2008 - r/f wheel bearings replaced.
