Barney,

it's more like not wanting to get sued by some idiot that tried to DIY. since those are just warnings they don't prevent you from doing anything.

#22 is not unreasonable if you take your car to a shop that is not affiliated with your brand

I have a bit of a story. my dad was a mechanic with a focus on electrical systems and years ago he got a car that had a cable fire. he asked me to help with soldering in all the new wires. at some point, I took a look at the fuse box in the engine bay saw something od picked it up and it was a piece of the tire profile. I show it to my dad and looking like this 36 goes to the trunk and examines the spare tire it was completely ruined. apparently, the owner had a flat and instead of changing it, he kept driving till his car caught fire.

Athy,
That is not the problem. The rust and wear on the "new" axle is.
