How could that happen? This is the question that wake me off this night. and i have absolutely no answer for this...
Now i'm a mechanics, in a 3 door garage, one costumer came ( a beatyfull swift 2006... ) with 2 wheel bearing that make noise.. Ok, i'll change them when the ordered bearings are coming. So, to next week!
Friday, the bearings coming, we call the costumer, then he came to change them. I change them, drive test, no problem, even take me 1 hour less than the previously estimated time!
So... Drinnnng, Drinnng, monday! Costumer call back, and explain me that saturday he want to take his car and a big piece get through of his plastic wheel cap during the night... Ehh, ''Wait, i'll get on tow to take your car!'' I'm thinking in my travel to take his car with my towing, wtf, mabye he's wrong!
So i go at home of my costumer and found the draveshaft nut with a drive shaft piece on the ground, near the sidewalk to the house, with some pieces of plastic wheel cap.. Yayyy, now WHATS WRONG? Nothing into my repair was disturbing me, i know what i've done, I even put some spline lubrican on spline of cvjoint, torque it to 221 lb/ft, ( according to mitchell ), use a bearing press to put the hub into the bearing.
See the pics, I really don't understand what happen, and I really need a explanation for the costumer..
