Q: Wheel hub assembly, wheel and rotor loose
Recently replaced my brakes pads (12/22) and noticed that my Passenger steer side tire was loose it wobbles back and forth causing a chopping noise as the tire rotates. I recently (as of 12/5) had the wheel bearing replaced due to damage from a previous mechanic who rotated my tires didn't torque the lugs and stripped on of the studs as well which lead to premature tire failure. Driver side front steer tire is tight and firm. The car does pull slightly to the right. Any ideas what could be wrong?
