Q: Wheel Bearings
My car is making a noise coming from the front left side of the car, when it's running but not all the time. I thought it needed an oil change so I took it to Ford's dealership to get an oil change and they recommended a tire rotation.However, when my car was ready they told me they couldn't do the tire rotation because of the lug nuts are swollen. Can this noise I've been hearing be caused by the lug nuts being swollen?
My car has 96000 miles.
My car's transmission is unknown to me.
