Problem after pistons and rings were replaced

[atrainbaby86]

I just had step 2 done last week and got my car back Saturday afternoon. I haven't even put 100 miles on it and I notice when I'm turning right like maybe an on ramp or exit ramp. It's like a thump thump thump at my feet like the axel is about to fall out. Its only when I turn right as of now. If I speed up,the thump speeds up. Im taking it back tomorrow before work. Thanks in advance

is your car flashing the cel light? did you scan for any codes? this can be a drivetrain issue completely nothing to do with the piston replacement. perhaps a video of sort might better explain the situation than thump thump thump.

No light, no codes. Just seeing if anyone had a similar problem. Ill post when I get it checked by the dealer. Thank you tho.

Engine mount?

or probably wheel bearings? i know those are a problem on early b8's

Turns out, my left front wheel had 3 lugs missing. They're covering the cost of the lugs but I feel like this is just ridiculous. Who knows what will go wrong next.

what? they forgot to put 3 bolts on your wheels??

Im guessing they didn't tourqe them and they fell out. I called about the vibrations and he said bring it in. It got so bad on the way in im guessing more came out. Now I'm just worried about other damage

That's scary. You are really luck the wheel didn't come off. That happened to a buddy of mine in high school and the wheel took out a parked motorcycle on the side of the road. Thankfully no one was on it. Shop had to cover the cost to repair the truck and replace the bike.

A vibration like that could throw the whole car out of whack. Make them align it as well.

Yea, that's what I was thinking, I told them I wanted the wheel checked out, hub and check the alignment as well. I also want this stated on a document incase something happens in the future. Ya never know.
