Recently I had new wheels/tires put on and the hubs are far more exposed than they used to be. I had a shop install these almost 2 years ago. Due to my trust in them, the previous wheels having a center offset, and my never needing to adjust the hubs, I may have missed this if it happened some time ago. These are Ouverson lock outs.
The first pic is of the passenger side and there for comparison. On the driver side the spindle is jammed and won't turn, though I didn't exactly try to force it - it is turned passed the area it's normally supposed to be at.
My question is:
Would this have been done at time of install (a screw up), at time of wheel swap (a different screw up) or is this a failure in the product?
I sent these pics to my mechanic on Monday, no accusations, just asking their opinion, and they failed to get back to me. When I spoke to them today (Friday), they told me I'd have to bring it in so they can take a look. I don't know enough about this product to know if this is something that would occur as a result of product failure or it it could only have occurred due to negligence.
