Uh oh... :sad: Any ideas what it could be?
At least it isn't raining :lipsrsealed:

3 wheel nuuts went walkabout wheels damaged so can't get it to sit right, oh and when your pregnant girlfriend is in the car - I found out she gets pissed when the car stops working...
-
What was up with it?
-
3 wheel nuts came off and the wheel is damaged. Not a happy bunny, meant to be seeing the baby today as well -___-
-
I'm guessing there might be a conversation with the words 'me' 'or' and 'the car' happening today.

OUCH! that looks nasty and not something you wud want to happen with the pregnant mrs sitting next to you...feel for you man!
-
The 'it's me or the car' discussion doesn't need to happen, the car only starting screwing up when he met me. It's obviously the car that's staying lol - The Mrs.

-
more importantly who was the dumb fvck who didn't tighten the wheel nuts up?
-

-
Are you running spacers?
-

dependant on the quality of the said impact gun, that might not be tight enough :lipsrsealed:

I wouldn't trust an impact gun full stop for wheel bolts, you should always check them by hand afterwards.

With a torque wrench. Impact guns (and my 4' 10" Aunt) can generate enough torque to strip threads.
115 N/m on alloy wheels - no more.

I do mine up to 90 then a quarter turn :)
-
i stick the wheel bolt wrench on them and do them up propper tight by hand. would never use and impact gun to do them up only use mine to undo stuff.

well that's that mystery solved :grin: :laugh:
