Somebody stole a lug nut...
Dude... I glanced at the front passenger tire yesterday, and noticed that one of the lug nuts is gone. Awesome! I torqued all of them to slightly-more-than-spec when I did my brakes, so something makes me doubt that it just came off. Is somebody stealing my lugnuts?!
It better not be some super-secret sign of "Your whole car is next." |

Did you make sure to re-torque them a few days later?
I think it's most likely that you missed one with the wrench, man. No offense.

I would agree. I will retorque mine after a few days and it is surprising how loose one can be. Just a thought.

I suppose that I could have missed one... I hope, in that case, that my lug didn't tag somebody's windshield on the freeway! |
