Tribute 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 113,000 miles
I have had the truck for 3 years and 113,000 miles highway miles, no off-roading. The front wheel bearings went out and were replaced under warranty at 43000 miles. The front wheel bearings are out again along with the stabilizer link and ti-rods. The wheels felt like they we about to fall off if you happened to hit a bump in the road. I just purchased a new set of tires a month ago and they are now possibly ruined due to the wheel bearing failure. I have had two cars with over 200K miles and never replaced the wheel bearings. It is currently at the Mazda dealer with an $800 repair bill.
