Thread: Just my effing luck...

Two days ago, my car started making a clacking noise in the right front. Sounded to me like the CV joint came loose. So I took it into my class today to see if I could throw it up on the lift and check it out. My mom needed to go to work and use my car, so I decided to do it later at my old high school. She's driving away and she calls me saying that it got worth and that she was coming back and wanted it put on the lift. Right as she pulls into the driveway, the wheel comes off causing this:




Apparently, when I replaced my rear caliper and bled my brakes, I didn't tighten my wheels down enough, causing this to happen. I've learned my lesson. Tomorrow, I'm gonna get everything rebalanced and possibly an alignment.

PS - if anybody, preferably in the South Florida area, has a spare fender, please let me know. I'm in desperate need. I dun like the way this ish looks.

Hit up u-pull-it. Or get it from partsmax, like 35bucks bnib.

Is partsmax local? I'd rather not pay for shipping.

I'm gonna hit u-pull-it this weekend.

Just looked them up. Nevermind. Thanks for giving me the heads up on them

happens to the best of us, make sure the holes in the wheel didnt get egged out

Wow..


betcha wont do that again.

hope your moms ok.

I'll check out the wheel tomorrow when I pull it off.

And yeah. She's fine. Just got a little freaked out, but she's fine. I definitely will check my wheels before lowering it next time.
