So yesterday I did my first Tire Rotation at 5000 miles.
All four wheels had gouges on the rear hubs that would mounted against the rotor faces!!
The rotors are "mounted" to the axle flanges with torx bolts (and have 6 wheel studs aligning them) so they shouldn't be shifting at all, but all four wheels have considerable gouges on the wheel hub surfaces that follow a circular pattern like the wheel is "spinning" against the rotor surface!! Except, the rotor surface is smooth and clean without gouges..and there is no way the wheel could spin/shift enough the cause the length of gouges!!(??)
I'm at a loss to explain..it's almost as if the wheels were somehow damaged before installation at the factory??(!!)
My truck was ordered by me and is 5 months old with 5000 miles.
Any thoughts?? I'm perplexed, I've never seen this on any of the 70+ vehicles I've owned before.
