JL FTW!
I have a 12" W3 changing to a 10" or 12" W7 soon!

 

Due to an unfortunate incident this morning I had to buy a floor jack. Until now I always went to my friends house when I needed to lift my car for anything since I didn't have one. I was on my way home from work and started to notice a slight knocking sound from the rear left wheel so I thought maybe my coilover blew or something. The knocking started to get louder and I could feel the wheel wobbling so I immediately pulled over and noticed that my wheel spacer was coming lose. I was less than a mile from home but was too scared to drive it home with the wheel lose. So since I didn't have a jack, I called my mom to come pick me up so I can take her car to go buy a jack. And that's how my morning went

 

Coulda been a lot worse brosef. And now you dont have to be "that guy" who borrows everyones tools lol. Use some locktite this time and make sure its tq'ed right!

 

yeah Calin, like ojiggy said it could have been worse the good thing is u noticed it and took care of it asap. Glad to know u made it safe at least.

 

dikspiel can I haz your side view mirrors? :P

 

Yeah Calin use some locktite.

 

No but looks like you stole some of my rock chips from my front lip

 

uhh no.

 

Haha just torq it down to wheel specs! I have no problems with my spacers at all!

 

Indeed haha :P

 

Shut up joto.

 

 

That sucks calin, when was the last time you checked your lugs/tq?

 

Well I had a shop install my wheel spacers on friday. I'm guessing they didn't torque them down well enough. I'm going to buy some loctite tomorrow to make sure that doesn't happen again.

 

Just tq them down to 80 ft/lbs, Drive around a block after your torque down, and tq down again. Hope you have a good torque wrench. loctite is unnecessary. Check your lugs monthly or so which I normally do anyways regardless of spacers or not.

 

Thanks! I was kinda busy yesterday so I only torqued them down once to 80 ft/lbs once. But tomorrow I'm going to torque down all 4 corners just to make sure everything is on tight.

 

Thank God you found out the issue before it got worse.

I would have cried if you rashed those Works.

 

^^calin I like the new look with spacers.

 

Waiz, I would have cried too dude....lol. I almost crapped myself when I looked in my side mirror and could see my wheel wobbling. I pulled over right away and called my mom to pick me up.

Thanks litoflow!! Your ride looks sick too, I love that hood and bumper!!

 

Thanks brother, Glad you like it

Diks I should have never stolen those rock chips from your front bumper haha. Damn this lip is so big, hard to hide from them and let a lone i lowered the z more today so im like 1'5'' from the ground (Sick).
