Very exciting times! Somehow lost 4 nuts off the front left wheel and snapped the 2 remaining studs (don't know how as i know id done them up tight last time the wheel was off and have done 5000k + since).
Thought i was feeling a little extra vibration through the steering wheel and was intending to pull over in the town that was 5min up the road to check things when the ute shuddered a little, went clunk and floated for a bit and then really did go clunk/shudder as the front corner touched the road and i saw the wheel bouncing along beside me into the grass.
I crash landed to the side of the road, retrieved the wheel duct taped it back on and limped to my fav cuz/mechanic.
Now replacing the front discs (doing both just for shits and giggles), all the stud bolts and the ball joint (half the bottom nut is now part of the road).
