Default Broken Steele

I was driving around and i started feeling a clunking... i thought that i had blown a wheel bering. i drove home started at my lug nuts and i saw the problem. ther was a crack from each lugs. it made a complete square. How did this hapen? to many burnouts?

burnouts huh...?

sigh....

possibility that you had your lugs tightened too much and didnt torque them, plus... your burnouts.

just a thought.

stop doing burnouts unless necessary.

You're lucky that didn't fall off. Ever curb your wheel real hard? You torque your lugnuts?

consider yourself very lucky.
this could've just as easily been a story about your wheel flying off while you were doing 90 around a corner.
