I also had new brakes installed at the same time.The shop that did the work didn't have a wheel alignment machine so I wait about 3 days and take it to a guy around the corner that does. When I pick up the car he let me know the rear right CV Hub has busted and it is leaking black stuff. It's going all over the back of the new caliper... I'm not too good with this stuff but shouldn't the original mechanic picked up that problem? My car is standard height by the way.Is it a huge job to fix the CV Hub? I'm pretty sure he said CV Hub...but might have been CV Boot??I don't need more rear end problems..... Should I be taking it back to the original mechanic??

Its not a big job to do if you take it to some one labour wise, but if you do it your self its not massive work but its a task.good luck mate. Edited 06/11/08 06:52 AM by YPURV4
