Totally cooked wheel bearings!
EDIT: NEED HELP, LOOK BELOW.
Well I've been having a thumping noise for a few days and my brakes and ABS started acting up, so I thought I'd go in for a brake service next week when I visit my parents. It's been about 40k miles since my last brake job, so I figured it was time. The sound was coming from the left front and I took the tire off and couldn't see any damage and everything looked fine, so that's what I was gonna do.
Well today I was driving and all of a sudden I lose about 50% of my brakes and it felt like something was very wrong. I pulled over and the hub cover had flown off and the hub was smoking. There was grease puked all over the inside of my rim.
I got a tow to the only place on the island open on Sunday. The tow was only $30 (student discount, about 3 miles). I'm getting both sides worked on and can pick it up in about 30 minutes. It's going to be about $250 probably.
Dunno if I'm getting a good deal or ripped, but I need to study and don't have time to work on it, so I had to have someone do the work for me.
That's my adventure of the week
