Nope never been in an accident. Once a semi ran me off the road onto shoulder on the freeway which shook the car pretty violently.(He merged into the lane that I was in, and almost into me). But nothing other than that, I'm super careful with my tib. It's the first car I've owned that isn't a beater.

What I want to know is, how could a steering knuckle go bad? Unless you had an accident. . .
Easy. The Bearing wore out and fused into the knuckle and couldn't be removed.
I had the same exact thing happen with my car last month. Covered under the 100k Mile warranty. Bearing was worn and fused into the Knuckle, so they replaced both.

I got the car back this afternoon and that is exactly what the dude told me. I was lucky that they were covered under warranty as well cuz I woulda had to pay $370 for the work otherwise.
