So after work today (10:30) I go out get in my car like usual (since its busy the parking lot is packed so i just get in and turn her on to warm her up.. sit there for awhile and begin to pull out.. everything was fine.. begin to drive down the aisle.. but something seemed wrong.. i drive down the end of the lot and i notice my car is pulling left... WAY left.. my steeing wheel was totally turned and it wouldnt hold direct.. i immediately pulled over in to an empty lot and got out.. my rim and my tire have started to seperate (tire travelled toward my wheel well and my rim is sticking out alil less than an inch.. Tire is flat but my rim isnt bent... I havent got a spare (guy before me didnt have one... and just like i didnt see my ignition switch problem, and i didnt see my powersteering pulley coming off.. i didnt see my tire going flat and didnt bother getting a spare..) so i left it there over night and im going to get it off tomorrow morning and bring it to Big O Tires... Seems these days i cant get thru a week without having a problem lol.

 

Just a word of advice... Look at the tire on the other side. If it has quite a bitof wear on it, you probably want to change it as well. Otherwise, the tire that are fixing to replace will wear unevenly. That's why when I replace tires I do it two or four at a time.

 

May be a reasonwhy your car was getting wobbly under power.

 

thats from the 400 h/p of unknown mods.

 

I bet, soooo much unknown horsepower i just busted my tire right off lol. Yeah it was worn and the guy suggested i get new tires all around. I bought some Faulken all seasons.

 

Does it still get wobbly in the back, when whipping around geriatrics in their Mercury Grand Marquis?

 

lol, well it will still get loose when i try and beat traffic out of a dig.

 

dude that sux, sorry to hear it. i let my sister drive my car this summer and she didn't see 2 lanes going into 1 until too late and whacked a curb while trying to get over, thus bending the part behind the rim. (can't remember what its called, not the rotors but whatever holds them on) cost me like400 bucks to fix too, and only cuz i knew the mechanic.

moral of the story, don't let friends drive your car, anyone for that matter

 

never have never will lol...
