Wed-NUS-day 01-05-2013 - JDubb - 05-01-2013 Hello ladies... Re: Wed-NUS-day 01-05-2013 - Joe - 05-01-2013 I did new brakes and rotors on the truck Saturday. This morning while driving to work I noticed that the truck would shake when I went around right hand corners. About half way to work I started to reflect back on my brake job and couldn't remember tightening the lugs when I finished up the driver's side. Sure enough when I got to work I found half of the nuts just barely hanging on. Re: Wed-NUS-day 01-05-2013 - Chip - 05-01-2013 Joe Wrote:I did new brakes and rotors on the truck Saturday.

Sure enough when I got to work I found half of the nuts just barely hanging on.That happened to me once too. I had taken our car in to have the oil changed and tires rotated before driving to my parents house for a holiday. We had the kids with us and were tired of them bitching about the drive so we were trying to make up time. We were speeding along the highway about 80-85 and would hear a thud, thud, thud every so often. When we got to my parents I mentioned it to my dad and we looked at it the next morning. I had lost 2 lugs to the passenger front on the highway and a remaining were not even finger tight. The drivers front was just finger tightened. I went ape shit on the shop I had the work done. They said they were sorry. Re: Wed-NUS-day 01-05-2013 - Joe - 05-01-2013 JDubb Wrote:Joe Wrote:I did new brakes and rotors on the truck Saturday.

I still have to replace the rear shoes, maybe this weekend. I'm not looking forward to that.

Then can't sleep. Then get to work hoping the vehicle is still there, so I can check it. Never had a loose nut or bolt yet. I did leave a hose clamp loose one time, and the guys radiator hose blew off on him when he was driving home. He wasn't even mad at me. |
