I just found out the stupid and hard way of why my celi has been a drama for me this year and last year. I have replace my front hub bearings, axle, rotors, over 3-5x last year. I have a liftetime warranty at oreilly and was told that i can not replace it no more. They said that im making the company lose money. lol. gonna change the number soon for that. But I found out that i have been overtorqueing it up the butt which crushed my bearings with my hub, which causes my rotors and axle to go bad as well. So now that i found a bgb book online, i will definately invest in a good precise torque wrench with the clicker. I can't believe i bought the best quality parts for my car and it just goes down the drain. Now I take back all the stuff that I said about my car. gah! im such a baffoon...
