@AndyG why is it that tire techs think they are mechanics??

Tire tech at work, rotated and balanced my tires! Did a phenomenal job too.

The he proceeded to tell me that I needed wheel bearings.

Got BB in my shop at home today to check and low and behold nothing wrong with them.
.why o why.

Question is how did he know-

TJ’s really don’t have wheelbearings- they have a unit bearing and unless he felt slop in the wheel he was just trying to sound authoritive.

Go back and wedgie him.

He claimed there was slop in the unit bearing, nope no slop.

I think he is just an "ignorant wretch"
