first off let me say i bought this car used at 7300 clicks. i took it in for an oil change at 8800 clicks after it was done and driving for 2 days a grinding noise appered thinking it might go away it dident. I then brought it back to the place that did the oil change and they said it sound like the bearings or hubs. I dont understand how this promblem could be happening on so little cliicks?thinking that was not the promblem somthing happened when they roteated the tires so anyways i did not have the money to get it fixed at that time and stupid me drove with the promblem for quite some time. now i cant drive it had to get it fixed. took it to another shop told me the bearing s need to be replaced i said go for it they then called me back and said the bearing on the left side is stuck in the hub which is stuck on the axel they said they cant get it appart and they have to make a special tool to get it off and if that does not work we have to shell out 900 bucks for a new axel. now you tell me does this sound like a normail thing i know this is a commom promblem but a new axel i think this guy may be sokeing me what do you think.
