i dont think they tightened the lugs as much as they should have. so needless to say, im pissed. its back at the shop for the night gettin fixed tomorrow for free. hopefully my wheel is still good, didnt look too good tho. screws up my front end alignment i had scheduled for tomorrow and my exhaust will still hopefully go on thursday.

Make sure they take your other wheels off and put them back on right because they could be next.

very nice, probably scared the cr@p out of you.

as i was drivin i heard like clunk clunk clunk clunk and i hit the gas and it cleared up.....let off and it clunked again...i stopped and looked around, saw nothing. on my way back, i went to turn and i turned right and it pulled/swayed left. so at thatn point i was like wtf. after like 1/4 mile i just feel a huge bump and hear metal to metal so i pulled over asap and thats what it was... 15 minute drive turns into 3 hours.

If I were you I would replace the studs on any wheel that was loose they weaken from the rim rocking around and hitting them.. Have seen it many times were you tighten the lugs up and a few miles later the wheel falls off and all the studs are broke off! just giving you heads up.

i was gettin my post rear installed on thursday anyways so idk what imma do. should i fix this one for now or have it towed to the other place?

say it caused damage to the rear and you need the rear and wheel replaced.

Was this on the way home form Chatterbox? that sucks man...

Thats bogus dude. I always check everything when I get a car serviced. Once came home and had a puddle in the driveway cause they never tightend the oil filter. As for tires I have a hard time getting them off cause they always over tighten the lugs on me. Did the rim get messed up from the lugs ovaling the holes? Hopefully nothing else was damaged. Lucky it didn't bend your fender out too.

i talked to them today and they say they didnt take the wheels off...how did they adjust the parking brake then? the adjuster holes on the inside are welded shut...they want 400 to swap the rears now and 100 to fix whats done right now so imma just pay the 100 and get it home so i can drive it for now. i just dont understand what they r saying. it sounds like bs to me.

They must have taken the wheel off cause you didnt drive that much so must have been something cause from the shop. they dont need to take the wheels off but sounds hell like they did. Theres an adjuster inside the rear drum for the parking brake.

Better find a new place to get it serviced, or else do it yourself from now on. Heh, could have been worse I suppose, what if it had caused you an accident? You should get your money back all together.

idk. i went there after adjusting it 5 times..it either hung up too much or didnt catch till it was straight up. but the adjustment cost 10 bucks and idk.

last pic i forgot to add. one snapped and 4 bent

jesus man good thing it didnt happen when u where on 80 hope things works out for ya

im glad it didnt happen on 80 cuz it prolly woulda been a whole lot worse. and id prolly have to walk down the highway lookin for the wheel. lol. been there done that and it sucks

Wait this has happened to you before? Maybe it wasn't their fault..

You know thats not a gta wheel in the pic right?

i believe its a bbs or enkei wheel. but yeh i knew...it happened on our yukon cuz my moms bf did the brakes and never tightened the lugnuts.....we were on 287 and the wheel said see yaaaaa and rolled like a mile down the highway and we walked n got it. had all 4 lanes blocked by cops so we could move the truck from in the fast lane to the other side onto the shoulder.....like 3 weeks ago me n my brother were driving my sister f150 and her spare tire holder broke n her spare tire rolled down 80 and we got that and now she keeps it in her bed lol
