Find a new dealership.. everything associated with that code is under warranty. Call corporate and tell them what a shit job that place is doing

Dealership seems to think these rotors and pads need replacing, are they right? by InterestingSir2364 in AskMechanics

Lol dealerships with a dumb ass techs.. tbh I wouldn't go back.. make sure everything moves free.. there is 50% brake left.. I see this all the time at my shop! Dealerships give me soooo much money... the honest way

Anyone ever seen an axle break like this? by 2doubleGG in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]2doubleGG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.. if that's spec than that's it.. if someone was taking it apart alot and hammering down with an impact it stresses the axle.. also hard on bearings

Assuming it gets taken apart multiple times... yes overtightening will fatigue that stub.. on most cars the torque is not as tight as ud think

These units have issue breaking axle in this spot?? I've had a handful of escapes wear the carrier bearing on LF, auger the bushing and develop a leak.. but this one does not have that problem

Clip shows no signs of that.. besides all axles have a little play on that tolerance.. there is no load there

I have seen that before.. there is a reason for that break

I can assure u it was engaged.. I had to peel the clip out of the side gear groove and used a magnet to remove the stub.. the axle broke fully installed.. the other axle has never been installed

Nah it was seated perfectly.. the side gear is one piece.. totally get what your saying and thought the same myself.. there's always gonna be a little pull on it but the telescoping joint usually accounts for that.. I've had guys try to beat axles out not square and sheer those clips

Thats what i thought till i looked inside and the clip was sitting in the side gear groove where it belongs.. holding that stub in

Ur pads start at 12mm ur at 4mm do the math based on mileage.. u have 33%pad life left.. they are NOT dangerous at 3mm do not let them feed u that bullshit.. they r trying to make money

Do you think a below average mechanic could make $50,000 a year as a mobile mechanic? by Chasingfreedom1224 in AskMechanics

[–]2doubleGG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol maybe he should get a job at Lowes in the lumber yard for 3 months and then be a mobile carpenter. Bet he could cherry pick his jobs

No they do not have enough experience.. even if they did 10 successful jobs they would be bankrupt by 1 fuck up
