DAMN! I was going along dishing out papers at 4:30 AM, and the clicking from the front axle got REALLY bad!!! OK, 2 miles to the Country Store, that has a well lit parking lot...
1 mile....clunking getting REALLY REALLY bad, only in D. In R, no clunking. Hmmm....there was that branch across the road back there, maybe a piece in the driveshaft?Maybe the driveshaft (rear) is coming loose? Gee, it looks NEW...U-Joint?
SHOOT! Missed that guy! Screw 'em...no, gotta go back.
Pull into driveway...sounds like rubber rubbing?!?!?!
OH! Two lug nuts gone on rear wheel, one held by 7 threads, one held by 3 threads!!! NICE! Wouldn't have made it to the store!
When I first saw it, it looked like the rear axle was pulling out, then I saw the missing nuts. Wrong style nuts. And nobody has the right ones!
Oh, and I checked the torque after 100 miles of replacing the tires...
