Question WHEEL HUB BROKEN!! while AutoX...HELP!!

As soon i finish my 3rd run, i notice a cracking noise on my front passenger wheel ( cruck cruck cruck..) my car is my daily driver 2007 turing..39000 miles.. i know the hub is under the 60000 miles warranty. I took my Z to my local Nissan dealer and they are telling me that is NOT the wheel hub! that is my actual OEM wheel!!! the funny part is that i used my other set of Autox wheels.... and i herded then..!!! my following questions are.. is the DEALER ********ting me? or it may be something else to be the problem?

FYI, interesting thread but this misspelling just made it less compelling.

A herd is a group of animals.

Herded is the act of gathering a group of animals.

Heard is to perceive by ear.

FWIW.

English is his second language. Which way he went?
It's all good. Most of us can't write in two languages. Glad the dealer gave in, but it's kind of scary that it broke so easily. As hard as some of us thrash our Z's, we're lucky we don't get hurt by stuff like this.

Why should the dealer be responsible for something that you broke during auto-x?
