| Description of the problem | Driving 70mph when rear wheel came off. Thought lug bolts came lose (use to working on euro cars) so went to get tire about 300 yards down other side or road. Jack up truck, put tire back on, went around truck to borrow other wheels lug bolts, realized f-150 takes studs and nuts not bolts when i removed a nut not a bolt. Went back to look at the holes in the rotor that looked like they took bolts and now i realize that all six bolts are completely sheared off past the rotors! There are little nubs poking out of the hub. Not a fun day. |
