On a less pleasant side, they confirmed that I have another wheel bearing failure and they are replacing it. It might even be the same one they replaced a few months ago. And the SAV only has 10K miles on the odometer.
The original tires are also about to go. I thought that they would last until 15K but this also gives me a reason to replace OEM run-lats with my favorite Vredesteins. I have a spare tire, so I don't care about run-flats all that much. SA also recommended a 4-wheel alignment. I'm wondering if it is covered by the maintenance program...
I hope that coming to non-run-flats does not upset suspension settings. Even if it does, I hope the effect is not going to be much noticeable, especially with better grip of the Vred's. |
I have a brake service due. Can you share with us what prompted you to believe that your wheel bearing were shot? What were the symptoms? My Dunlops run-flats are loud enough that I can't hear the bearing if it's going bad. Other tell-tale signs?
Thanks.
