I lost a wheel on the front street side going down the highway. Rear axle, street side was loose and missing two lug nuts. Had new wheels and tires installed a month earlier.
On the way home from the tire installer I stopped and checked the lugs at 10, 25, and 55 miles later when I was at the RV park I was staying at.
Two months later I checked all the lugs because I would be leaving for a job in FL in a week. It turned into an ordeal finding hubs to fit the RV. Hubs were damaged on the street side from the sheared studs and wobble.
24 hours later the Mobile Mechanic had us back on the road. Never figured out why the one side came loose and the other has been good since day one.
I am so paranoid of loosing a wheel now I check the lugs before leaving, at 25 miles, 100 miles, and at each and every stop before proceeding. I know it is overkill but, I cannot get that nagging concern out of my mind.
