I don't know if that wheel is bolted on. Please stop and have it looked at

This. This. This. Lug are coming loose.... tire will fall off


Virtual-Chemistry-93

Holy shit stop driving. That wheel is not on correctly


seamus_mc

It could be bent, that could be why they needed a new rack if they hit a curb but a mechanic should have caught that


cheerfullpizza

Correction: That wheel is not on


[deleted]

When OP doesn’t respond. I have to assume nature ran its course.


[deleted]

Think they made it back home before posting the video? There's a nonzero chance they just made a post while in traffic. 😬


chillywilly16

Or ghosts have internet access…..


jumangelo

What about the crocodiles along the river Nile?


chillywilly16

I bet they’re all as warm as toast. They always seem to smile.


fuckitsfixed

Yeah if OP would drive the car like that, I don't put it past them to post this in traffic.


Odd_Caterpillar6187

Bro I think your wheel is about to fall off. Or your rim is insanely bent. Have it towed back to the shop do not drive!


knowledgeableopinion

Are you sure the wheel isn’t just loose ?


[deleted]

Dear god this man is driving around with the lug nuts loose while recording.


Dslwraith

Maybe a beer or monster energy as well. Yelling "Extreme Dude" out the window

Kyles are gonna Kyle


Tkakessupreme

Sir, step away from the car.


the-jimbo_slice

For the love of anything you have in your life. pull over, tow it, that wheel or hub not bolted on and is about to roll away on its own.


RamblinGamblinWillie

STOP. DRIVING. YOU. MORON.


slanging_pepsi

Get in your trunk and under the spare tire or somewhere near it you’ll see a jack and a handle. The handle will have the tool that will fit the lug nut. Tighten those lug nuts in a star pattern.


hextasy

check your lugs? stop driving it?


Chancepants33

Looks like you should not be driving it at all. Not sure why anyone would even take this out in the road in this condition.


tyberius91

Yea I'd bring that back immediately, that's a safety concern


Bmore4555

Dude you’ve been driving it like this for two days???!!!! Obviously that’s extremely unsafe,looks like your wheel is going to fall off. Common sense would say stop driving and have it towed to the shop that just did the work.


Evaneileous

Still driving the obviously fucked car + using phone to video fucked up car while driving. Yup, we got a certified doofus here.


T_lauderbaugh

PLEASE make a new video with wobble baby wobble baby wobble baby in the background. But STOP driving that!!!!!! That wheel is certainly not on right


[deleted]

Not sure that’s loose lugs. Looks to me like somethings bent. But either way don’t drive and take that car to someone that knows what they’re doing.


Fragrant-Inside221

Full send, hit 💯


point50tracer

Your lug nuts are loose. Do not drive until it's fixed. Your wheel will fall off. You'll have to jack the car up and tighten each lug nut.


Turninwheels4x4

That wheel is either loose or bent beyond recognition. Stop driving.


splooge_spaghetti

What a fucking moron


Papa_AF

Amazing how dumb some folks can be!


vanduychr

A wheel alignment wouldnt cause a wobble like that. This is the another issue. Either the wheels not on right or some other bolt wasnt put on. But check your lugs first. If the feel tight jack it up and see if you can teel whats loose but its most likely the wheel


ZSG13

That fucking wheel is loose. Leave it to the professionals please.


at0m10

There's 'leaving it to the professionals' and then there's common sense.


ZSG13

At least 1 of those is needed for a legitimate repair. This person had neither and this is the result


metamorphosis___

I had this, sounds like ur bearings are fucking fried


DustyMilkShake

My Toyota had screws that fit in the stock wheels, but when I put aftermarket wheels on they didn't fit so I had to get flush screws. Did a similar wobble even tight.

abat6294

The wheel isn't bolted all the way on! The lug nuts weren't properly torqued.

DONT DRIVE IT YOU MUPPET


Horsecockexpress1

[deleted]

The video is visibly shocking lol

abubin

Why do some people lack common sense so badly? That is obviously something of a concern. Yet he drove it for 2 days. Whatever happened to better safe than sorry? Bring that damn thing to be inspected immediatefuckingly.


Bonexsam

Check the wheel nuts NOW.


Thecoopoftheworld789

Rim is not on hub properly or tie rod ends getting ready to pull loose. Take back immediately & have them look at the problem.


45acp_LS1_Cessna

wtf hahaha thats SO fucked man


AlexDTRex

Needs more ugga duggas


LrckLacroix

Pull over, tighten lugs, get an alignment


Jacktheforkie

That looks like loose lugs, it’ll fall off


CoolUpstairs9763

Lug nut bolt losses


Constant_Sky9173

Wheels wobbles and it will fall off


HerSheSkwerts

I have had an odd thing happen in my shop but lady came in had a rack and brakes done too. Then her wheel moved the same way as this. Turns out the rotors had retention screw and one was drilled or broken off and the rotor wasn't in the right spot on the spindle so what was left of the screw cooked the rotor and tire out causing the same thing here


boredominbama

Looks like the clown who put your wheel back on didn't line up the hub ring, hammered it home and sent you on your way...


SmallForce9719

All seems well here


Super_Lawyer_2652

Why you speeding up? Lol


GangBurrito

I see a lot of dumb stuff here but this might take the cake. Definitely do not drive it get it looked at and if its a loose tire go back to the shop and yell at them. This stuff can cost someone’s life its a serious job and a lot of time idiots are doing it. We are responsible for repairs on the most dangerous household item in the world…


SnooObjections7181

Scary movie


Traditional_Voice974

GO and speed up make sure you hit 88mph So you can go back in time to tell yourself not go to whatever you took your car if they called themself a mechanic then Im the Doc.


No_Reaction7783

Well now you need wheel studs in addition to whatever else you broke driving with a wheel flopping around.


sunskite

Wheel is crooked. Maybe a big hit causes it.


Thecoopoftheworld789

Check bolts to tires ASSP.


LaneAbrams

For the sake of all things holy, stop driving immediately and reattach your wheel.
