This morning i took off in the van, and heard what sounded like a
wheel bearing grinding, but everything was ok last night....
Turned around, got it parked at home, got out and smelled burned
rubber. Checked 4 tires, all cool. Checked the serp belt, it was
ok, and no smell under the hood. Went back toward the drivers door
and smell burned rubber again. Turns out the bottom spring mount on
the strut rusted off and was riding on the tire tread neat the inside
of the tire.
Weird!
Guess I add putting new struts on the van to the list of jobs to do
quickly before it snows.
Lucky I was not 300 or more miles away. Heading out on a 300 mile
trip in the morning. Won't be taking that vehicle or the 300D.

The nut that holds the wheel is the cause of 99% of auto accidents
and the majority of roadside breakdowns, and is the cause of many
engine failures.
Does YOUR car need to have the nut that holds the wheel replaced?
