So recently I went on the highway, just driving like a normal person in their civic would, and I notice my wheel is a little loose, so I get off the highway and go back into town.

As I get home, I continue driving, and it almost sounds like my tire is flat, but I pull over and check and there is nothing in it, nor is it flat.

So I continue driving, the sound "took took took took took" just like a flat tire, continues.

I pull over pull out my wrench, and I notice wtf, 2 out of 4 lugnuts are loose?

I tighten them up, the vibration that was there when the took noise was being made, stopped about 80%, and the noise is now only happening 70% of the time, im just wondering, what could be causing this noise?

Ball joint, bearing?

How do I check myself rather than paying a mechanic to shake my tire and say hey, its this.

Thanks Pro's
