problem #2

Oct 301999

Suburban 4WD

  • miles
Had not previously heard anything unusual. Have owned 2 other Suburban besides this one. I was leaving a parking lot, turning left onto the street when I heard a pop. I then heard some rattling and squeaking. I pulled over and could not see anything, so I drove it home...about 5 miles. Took off the lugs:nuts cover and 2 broken stems fell on the ground with the nut still on them and the rest of the lugs: Nuts were extremely loose. Had all the tires rotated at Firestone on 10-7-99 and the mileage was 42,720. None of the other wheels were affected.all lugs: Nuts were on tight except for this one wheel. Found out that Ford had a recall on all 1998 lugs: Nuts on Ford F150 pick ups...could this be related?
