Re: [MBZ] Regina’s Nuts….
One time when I got tires I got talking to the tire monkey and he forgot to torque all the tires. It was fine for a couple days but Angie and I were going somewhere, she was driving and one wheel must have gotten loose. It sounded and felt to me like somebody was beating one of the wheels with a sledge. I could see the steering wheel twitching half an inch back and forth. "Whats that noise?" I asked. "What noise?" she replied. She had no idea and would have continued to have no idea until the wheel fell of... -Curt On Monday, March 21, 2022, 07:14:19 PM EDT, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: That lift is going to kill somebody.

Re: [MBZ] Regina’s Nuts….
First, they are bolts, not nuts. Second, if you would drill and safety wire them, it would be obvious at a glance that they were loose from the lack of twisted safety wire.
