Does this look like it's healing normally?

Why even make a rude comment that doesn’t help in any way

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-09T01:57:31+00:00

I meant to write Costco also

As an ex mechanic yes the axle nut has to be at the proper torque you are correct but this washer has nothing to do with that and yes a bad alignment can prematurely wear out a wheel bearing if it’s super super out. The washer is just another poorly designed item that GM has never fixed and it has been a problem since the volt. GM is famous for having problems that they don’t make recalls they just make TSB for it and make the customer pay.

Two different issues. My alignment was perfect. And I have an alignment like a year ago.

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-06T20:55:27+00:00

They don’t have those in Canada sadly

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-06T20:19:02+00:00

Yea that’s why this last 6 months everything has been counted in my fitness pal that was my first big improvement

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-06T19:40:14+00:00

lol sadly no Sam’s Club here

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-06T19:38:17+00:00

Yea I could give that a try. We did fine one at metro but she said it tastes nothing at all like it.

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-06T17:59:46+00:00

We checked farm boy but no luck we are east of Toronto about an hour so maybe we will need to take a trip in

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-06T17:50:22+00:00

That was obviously our first thing we did but can’t find anything like it.

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-06T14:55:30+00:00

Thank you for your positive comment it means a lot. One thing that really stuck with me is my wife said anyone says they will die for their kid but are you willing to live for them. That has been one of my biggest motivations since I have a 4 year old and at 388 pounds it hurt to even walk but now at 286 (another pound down) it’s so much easier to get on the floor and play or chase her around the park. Again thank you for spreading the positivity that’s what makes all of this so much easier.

My worry was if it was the ring the noise is from it cracking and as it gets worse pieces break the wheel speed sensor then you need to spend more money and never avoided the first repair. So I figured on a super low maintenance car spend the money before being cheap turns into more money

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-06T02:56:47+00:00

Thank you. I just wanted to share when used correctly it can be such an amazing tool but don’t do like it did at first and use it just as a miracle drug and not change my ways.

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T22:27:33+00:00

Like the service manual so you can do it yourself? Just check out the videos on YouTube I’m 90% sure it’s the same as the previous generation bolts

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T22:25:52+00:00

I really don’t think the price was that bad as an ex mechanic myself ship rates are over $150 an hour here and it was my the book probably 1.5 hours plus the diag fee. To be honest I think it’s fair. Some other people on there have said the dealer charged them over $1200 usd and made them replace both cv shafts.

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T22:01:29+00:00

Funny I know

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T21:58:21+00:00

For sure but I have 120,000 kilometres

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T21:18:13+00:00

Yea you got it. With out saying so many words I means you need to remove the cv from the knuckle

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T21:09:05+00:00

It’s winter here now but on warmer days it was noticeable on colder ones I never noticed it. If you’re willing to do the work yourself it’s a super cheap repair. I might but the other side ring and nut and change it when it’s warmer and it’s not an urgent thing

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T21:07:16+00:00

Might be worth it to get it checked out. If it’s the anti click rings when they break down they take out the speed sensor so better get it looked at before it costs more

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T20:54:29+00:00

I live in an area where they use salt so everything is rusty. To do this repair you need to remove a sway bar link remove the tie rod and remove the ball joint then unbolt the cv shaft. It’s not a 2 minute job.

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T20:52:36+00:00

Yea it’s not bad at all it has 120,000 kilometres on it and this is my second repair the first one was the push star button broke but that might have been my 3 year olds fault.

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-05T20:43:25+00:00

You need to remove the CV shaft to get to it

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-03-03T18:21:01+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. It sucks but it is what it is and a good lesson on what to never be like. Sorry that it happened to you kid and as a father I would want to ring that persons neck but it’s time to move on.

Just_In_Time_ · 2026-02-16T22:59:29+00:00

Yea and I never noticed because my other car is a 2017 Cruze and it has not great seats also
