| We were driving back from the airport, 60 miles from our home. before we left the airport area we heard a noise. as we are headed home approximately 20 miles down the road the stability notification and the abs lights come on. first time they had come on. every now and then we hear a noise coming from the front left wheel. the notification and lights cut off and on all the way to our destination. approximately 6 miles from our home, we hear a noise as if something came off but yet the suburban was driving okay for the exception of noise and grinding. we decided to keep driving as we are in a horrific construction zone. the next day i call for an appt for inspection at a private wheel and brake shop for an estimate. they said i had extensive damage to the wheel hub assemblies and the front wheel tire was just about to fall off. they said they were even apprehensive about making it from the outside of the building, inside. i call the dealership. they said it there was not a recall on the hub assemblies and it would cost app $560 to $600 per wheel for repair. i could not afford this so i took it to repair at the wheel shop. my vehicle had approximately at the time 54,000 miles. i do have the old parts for inspection. *tr | |||

| The top nut which holds the right rear brake caliber bracket came out on my vehicle. the result caused my vehicle to abruptly stop severely jerking the passengers in the truck. the bracket also punctured several cracks to the inside of my rim causing my tire to deflate. i have never had the caliper nuts removed on my vehicle. the only thing i can think of is the nut must have vibrated loose. the lower nut was loose as well. the loose lower nut was discovered after removing the wheel to repair the deflated tire. the incident occurred on sunday, october 19, 2008 at 1:30 am. my vehicle was towed home for repair. a new rim and brake caliper nut had to be purchased to repair my vehicle. *tr | |||
