Lug nuts are getting hot?

Hi,

I was doing a brake job earlier and realized how hot the lugs were and thought of you. LOL The brakes were working properly, but the lugs were hot.

So, I was wondering how you made out.

Let me know.

Hi,

I can't have a Facebook or any social media accounts. I'm a teacher and have learned not to even try. LOL

As far as the noise, is there a specific time it happens? For example, does it happen when the brakes are applied, when you hit a bump, or when accelerating?

Let me know.

Hi,

The first things I would check would be the stabilizer links and make sure the sway bar is tight and the bushings are good. I'm trying to think of what they may have done by replacing the brake hoses, but there isn't much.

Don't laugh but check to make sure the wheels are tight. LOL

I attached a pic below and highlighted the links and bushings to check. Also, make sure there isn't a loose wheel.

Social media isn't a good thing when one is a teacher. Ugh! I can only imagine how bad that could end up.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe

See pic below.

Hi,

If there is a worn bushing, yes it can make noise. If you lift the front off of the ground, see if there is any play in the wheel.

Let me know what you find.

Hi,

That isn't uncommon. It happens when they get older.

Take care,

Hi,

Interesting. Usually, that is heard when placing the vehicle in gear or loading the engine. Is the part being installed by a shop or do you plan to do it yourself?

Let me know.

Joe

I totally agree. LOL

Let me know if all issues are resolved. Hopefully, you will have a chance to enjoy the vehicle before the warranty runs out. LOL

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

If anything changes or if I can help in any way, let me know.

Take care and please feel free to come back anytime in the future. You are always welcome here.

Joe

Hi,

Did you have any luck with the noise you were hearing? Sorry, I don't mean to be a pain. I'm just interested in knowing.

Take care of yourself,

Joe

Hi,

I'm glad to know it's fixed. As far as the odor is concerned, hopefully, you are correct. I can tell you that the new rotors are shipped with an oily solution that is to prevent rusting. If that wasn't cleaned properly, that can smell. When new pads and rotors are installed, you are supposed to burnish them. That requires stopping the vehicle about a hundred times at speeds around 30 MPH. That would burn off anything on them. LOL

Regardless, I'm glad to know it's fixed. If anything changes, let me know. Also, feel free to come back anytime in the future if you have questions.

Take good care of yourself,

Joe
