Silly Delboy
I was driving to the shops today to get some treats with my GF. Steering felt a bit loose and when i turned a corner felt a slight shudder, which felt much worse as i pulled into the carpark. Got my GF to drive it while i ran around the carpark listening for the prob. I stopped and she kept going and i saw the front left wheel wobble. Checked it and all the bolts were loose on it. Same side as my idler arm is on. Any guesses? i had loosened the bolts earlier in the week to put the new arm on. Got distracted and put the arm on without needing to take the wheel off and never tightened the nuts. Very valuable lesson learned. Check your lugnuts regularly!

Silly Delboy, Trix are for kids...
Good thing you noticed it. In a past life, I worked in a tire shop. One of the guys did not tighten the lugs on a customer's car. When he drove it away, the tire came off. The car fell on the tire and ripped the entire fender right off, broke the rotor, and mangled the rim. Needless to say, the customer was not very happy.

Doh.. I once changed a tire while on the trail and forgot to tighten the lug nuts. When I got to the petrol station they were hand tight.. Scary.. I was petrified when I thought of what coulda happened!! Delboy looking forward to meeting up with ya on your home turf! I am looking forward to the journey! I think the Runner is too!
