im startin to ****** hate car's lately, last night my damn wheel fell off on the freeway and messed up my entire front passenger side, snapped my axle, need a new balljoint, suspension, lower control arm, rotor, and possably wheel hub https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif what does it take to get a working reliable car?!?!?!

Proper torque settings on your lug nuts.

i tourqed everything down not even 15 minute's earlier

But was it proper? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

More cowbell?

yup, my dad drilled into my head, you either do it right the first time or you dont do it

so you torqued it all down but the wheel fell off? did the hub fall off or just the wheel bc it would be a pretty big coincidence if enough of the lug nuts broke at the same time to allow the wheel to actually fall off

Ok, he said 'front damage', which means his front wheel came off.. And 'snapped axle' which makes me wonder if the axle snapped and hence the lugnuts could remain intact.

i havent slept since last night so i was searching for words when i was typeing, but the nut that holds the wheel hub in place on the control arm aprently came loose and my hub popped off of it, my fender is a bit fubard because the wheel and hub assembly snapped back and got dragged along the ground into the car.. earlier in the week i snapped 3 out of 5 wheel studs and only had one lug left on the remaining two, so im not ruleing anything out as a possability

That happened to my friend the one day on the way to the bar. I had to drive about half mile down the expressway to get the wheel.
