I HAVE A 03 ACURA MDX & TOOK IT TO THE ACURA DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT WAS MAKING A NOISE SO I BROUGHT IT BACK & THEY SAID THEY COULDNT HEAR A NOISE BUT WHEN I DROVE IT THE NOISE WAS GONE, SO I THOUGHT BUT WHEN I WOULD TURN A CERTAIN WAY IT WOULD MAKE A SQUEEKING NOISE. AFTER TAKING IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES THEY FINALLY SAID IT WAS THE BACKING PLATE & THEY PUSHED IT IN TOO FAR. IT STILL MAKES A SQUEEKING NOISE OCCASIONALL & THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT TIL IT GETS WORSE. I WAS TOLD THAT A ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE DONE AFTER BEARINGS WERE REPLACED BY A TIRE SHOP BUT ACCURA SAID ITS NOT REQUIRED & THEY HAVE NO WAY OF DOING AN ALIGNMENT. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE TIRE SHOP THE ALIGNMENT WAS VERY BAD & I JUST GOT NEW TIRES PRIOR TO HAVING BEARINGS REPLACED. SHOULD I WAIT TIL THE BEARINGS GET WORSE OR SHOULD THEY REPLACE THEM & SHOULD THEY HAVE CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT BEFORE LETTING ME LEAVE?
