OK, so I was driving to work today and heard a loud clonk... Carried on driving and entered the high way... Drove a few yards and pulled over to a car park and crunch.

Looked at the rear wheel and...

Low As..

X2!!! On my old car, I replaced the rear shocks, took for a test drive but forgot to re tension the nuts. Loud clunk round the wellington rd on ramp for the monash freeway, shock had swung out and taken a chunk out of my tyre and rim!!!

awwwww SH1T !!

Mate that is terrible news, and you only just bought the bloody thing!

So what nuts were loose ? Wheel nuts or suspension nuts ?

I hope the costs of that dont blow out too much for you mate as that "cheap buy" you got will leave a very sour taste in your mouth.

Ha its no real dramas, just glad it never happend when driving on the high way!

I think its the ball joint that conects the suspension to the wheel that just popped off due to the nut coming off..

So hopefully not that biga deal.. just annoying.

We will see tomoz.(how much its gunna hurt my pocket)
