wow thats a$$ hole ish of them. They should have at least mentioned it. They probably just changed the tires and called it a day...looks like quite a bit, you didn't notice before? sure they didn't do anything?

Well the wheel bearing was going but meineke told me I had about a month before it needed replacing, I took it to the tire shop and they changed the tires and rims out, and said NOTHING about it.... So I dropped it off at meineke yesturday afternoon, so they can work on it today. Sucks it looks so nice now and I can't drive it

Is the boot ripped or just leaking from the edges? Mine did that and I just put a big hose clamp on it and it stopped.

The boot was dry rotted and leaked everywhere, the shop fixed it today, and my wheel bearing on the other side, so now hopefully she won't be in the shop for a while now
