ok, besides the aparent responses like all the "wow your stupid!" I already know how stupid it was and how much of a dumb a*s move it was....

I was reinstalling my wheels after getting them fixed (only 50 bucks) I lowered my car and took it out. I went out side of my neighborhood and down the street... all in all less then 2 min on the road to notice a slight shimmy. I realize that i didnt tighten down my driverside front wheel! Luckly i had all my tools on me so i tightened her down right there... but do you guys think i screwed up anything... there was no apparent signs of a problem after that... but do you think i warped a rotor, suspension, rim?

I doubt you did any damage. Warped rotors are usually from not tightening the lugnuts in a star pattern. I don't see any reason the wheel or suspension would be damaged. Chalk it up as a lesson learned.

that i will! I am so lucky, i just keep think what would have happened if i lost a wheel! i would be F*ucked. royally. Ok ya i didnt think i would have messed anything up but i thought i would check

You're fine.

Don't sweat it.



I mean I'd never do ANYTHING like that. J.k

bakerjd

hahaha, i doubt anythings wrong...sure got lucky though

Tylus

been there and done that before.

pull the rim off and check your lugnuts. if they are galled or otherwise damaged, replace them.

if nothing, chalk it off as lucky and move along. losing a tire while rolling sucks big time

I'd also check the mounting holes in the wheels to see if they are still round.

thats actually not that uncommon of a mistake, it happens. just ask ron white lol. and i rly cant see how you could have damaged anything either.

Thank god!

For the entire ride home i was just thinking all the stuff that might be braking

Ya i did, the wheel was darn near gone!

Ya the lugs went back on no prob so no galling on them. Loosing a wheel would kill my car
