Our car was making this grinding noise and sometimes would shake. We had a tune up which consisted of chaningthe tramsmission oil, changes all the brakes and pads....however the issues were still there. So they said it was the front barrings. We went to a AAA referred shop, they changed the front barrings and charged us $550 for parts and labor. As my husband was driving away and tried to brake you would hear this loud squeaking and gridning noise. Obviously they put something back wrong. We took the car back and the head mechanic said its the axle ????? The mechanic who was working on it did something wrong. They are going to fix it no charge of course. I am feeling like they are scaming us and trying to mess up the car. Can you give me a heads up to what may be going on here!

When they did the front bearings they must of had the axle tripod or cv joint pop out of place. If they are going to replace it for free there should be no problem.
