We replaced the rear wheel bearings in my 2007 Mazda CX9 AWD. To make a 5 hour long story short, the wheel bearings didn't come out smoothly, and the new ones didn't fit on smoothly either. We had to use a lot of force to get those things on and off, and hammer had to be deployed occasionally.
Although the wheel bearing sound is gone, the 4WD light is on all the time and the TCS/DSC indicator (the slippery road sign) flashes on now and then. The ride seems uneven, like something is grabbing on one side and the brake power is reduced.
So..with the hammering of the axle, did we maybe damage the rear differential in some way? Or perhaps the brakes are on incorrectly? Would an incorrectly mounted brake cause that TCS/DCS light to come on? I haven't take the wheel off to look yet, it's just been too long of day, but I'll give it a look tomorrow.
Thanks!
