ok well i was driving down the road right and i started to hear a noise coming from the wheels when i turned and when i got to my house i checked everything out and found that the lug nuts had come lose...lose enough so that i could turn them with my own hand easy..what a scary moment...i mean i could have been is a huge accident if they had come off...any one know of a reason why they might have done this..other than the fact that they might not have been tight enough before..i just did a brake job and put them on pretty tight

Have you had anything done that required taking your wheels off recently they recommend re-tourqing them after 25-50 miles after having anything done and yes put the torque at 100-115 pounds, someone was telling me a story about their wheel falling off just tonight and it going acroos traffic and everything. I can't really think of why they would come loose like that out of no where unless someone doesn't like you and loosed them when you wasn't looking but unless you don't have wheel locks.....

well i acually had just done my brakes and everything..but i mean i put them on tight..they shouldn't have come off...but who cares now...they are on and they are fine....because i basicly put all of my body weight on them(by the way thats 210 lbs) so they shouldn't be coming off anytime soon...maybe a little to much but it was a scary thing to happen...i wouldn't have cared as much but my girl friend was in the car...so thats the main reason it was scary...I LOVE HER SO MUCH (sry just a love struck man)

I saw some guy lose his back wheel on the highway in front of me. I didn't know wheels could jump so high when they hit a curb. It looked like it could have jumped over a 2 story building.

my friend drives a 99 f150 with 44's on it and he was on the way back from a ride and his wheel came off on I-59, another friend of mine was with him he said it was the scariest thing that has ever happened to him, luckily they didnt roll over or anything.
