Had a nice low speed click this week....thought it was a wheel bearing. Nope, just 2 lugnuts that backed out 1/2 turn.
Fail.
Wheel bearing? Nope.

Had you retorqued the wheels after install?
I've never heard of lugnuts loosening up if they've been retorqued within a couple days of install.

Thinking about it, I think I forgot to check that wheel after I stuck it back on last week.

Yeah, the one behind the steering wheel might have a couple issues.oldoutboardjim wrote:Speaking of loose screws......................tgnorman wrote:Thinking about it, I think I forgot to check that wheel after I stuck it back on last week.

Been there done that. Old age and memory don't mix.
Slower than your stock focus.
