Steering feels weird....

04SPORT · May 8, 2014

Today I was in the highway doing about 60 and randomly my truck started swerving left and right, it was not windy enough to push my truck this much and especially both ways, I have never noticed anything like this before either. Also when driving on the regular roads about 40 the steering feels loose and the truck still kinda goes where it wants.. Any ideas what this could be? I don't hear anything weird when turning or anything either..please help!

Time to jack up the front end and start checking parts.

I did that and everything was fine, what happened was someone loosened 2 of my wheels to the point where there were hand tight, even the lock nuts were taken all the way off

Oh ****! I'm glad you caught it in time. That could have ended very badly. Has anybody besides you worked on it lately?

No it has just been me, i was the one to put my new tires on and put the rims back on and torque them down. Im glad it didnt fall all the way off!

Torque, drive, retorque.

We always double torque on our wreckers, meaning torque all lug nuts, then one by one untourque and retorque, then drive, then check torque again. Might be overkill though.

Are you saying you had locks on your wheels and someone then removed them? Sounds like someone wants your wheels.

Yeah it was scary, I know it was forsure tourqued down to specs because my teacher wont let me leave class with out him checking it and now its been about 3 weeks since i put them on...It could have coome loose but for all 5 including the lock nut to come almost all the way off is a little odd to me especially with that time period, im just glad i caught it when i did
