Took my R in for the knuckle recall today. Stayed with the car while it was being done, except for when I got talking to another guy, who ownes a pantera or something like that?? Anyways, they finished it and I drove it back to my dealership(where I work). I noticed on the drive back that it didn't quit feel right in the back end, but didn't think much about it. I parked the car and a guy came over to look at it and while he was looking at the engine I did a walk around and noticed the left rear brake was HOT. I thought wtf, it was hot just like I came off a track, but it had only been driven 6 highway miles.
Well, to make a long story short, I jacked the rear off the ground and found the rear left tire could be wiggled back and forth. I pulled the wheel and tightened the center nut that holds the half shaft into the hub. It is fine now, but I am going to have to have the alignment checked again just to be sure it's still ok.
You guessed it, it was the knuckle that was done while I was talking to the guy with the Pantera. Man that could have been so bad if it would have gone unnoticed.
