## What is wrong

AUTOMATIC FRONT WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTING NUTS MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE DURING INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL DUE TO INCORRECT TOOLS OR INCORRECT TORQUE.  ALSO, SOME OF THE NUTS MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY.  THIS CAN RESULT IN THE NUT HAVING THE POTENTIAL TO ROTATE FREELY AND LOOSE TORQUE.
