Ever since I bought my Mustang GT PP earlier last year, I've been pretty anal about making sure it is being kept well. So after having driven almost 4.000 Miles, the rims didn't have a single speck on them.
However since I am about to embark on a 3 month road trip throughout the entire US, I decided to have the stock tires switched up for some All Seasons. Not too complex a job one would say....
Earlier today I went to the service department of a local dealership to have this done, and although it took them the whole day, I was able to pick up my car with fresh tires at 5:00PM. So far so good. However after a couple of a couple 100ft of driving I started to notice a, for a lack of a better word,"Clonking"-sound whenever I make a left turn. The sound always comes from the front left wheel. The clonking sound also seems to arise when driving at relative slow speeds (5-10MPH).
Me being Naive as I am, assumed it was just the the "tire settling in". But since it hasn't disappeared in the 50 Miles I drove with it, I am starting to think it is a different issue. I am hoping it just as simple as a not properly fastened lug nut. Anyone have an idea if that indeed could be the case? Or are the symptoms not consistent with that?
To make matters even worse, upon arriving home I noticed that they managed to damage both my front rims in the few hours I left my car with them. I attached a picture to show the damage, and was wondering of this is the time of damage that people see more often when tires are being changed? I am going to assume this has happened to other people on this forum as well and am very interested to know how dealers solve these type of damages (if at all.....).
