Hey Tony
I doubt it, hardly do any breaking on the way down, the road is pretty
steep and bumpy so spend most of the time in 4 low just letting the engine
slow the truck. Did the visual inspection, everything looks fine but with
the wheel off the ground its really hard to turn. The side that was fixed
spins freely with minimal effort. Just wondering because talking to the
dealer service guy here, he admitted that it does happen and when I
described the problem to him he was more than familiar with it. Kind of
scary.
