Pick yourself up a factory service manual, it will cover everything you need to know.

I think this is the biggest fckin question of them all. Wheels don't just fall off. Regardless of who was driving it, that doesn't necessarily make it their fault. That's why you should have comprehensive insurance coverage.

Who was the last to work on the wheel?

 

the lug nuts could have been loose and the stress of all that wieght and a wobaly rim could have snapped the studs. In that case the drive would have to be a complete dbag for not noticing the vibration coming from the wheel not to mentiong the steering wheel would be going bonkers.

Op go to s2ki.com and look in the DIYs they have a thread on how to replace wheel studs.

 

i came in because i saw the SN.

You can find it online also in case you're not "baller" enough to buy one.

or not "baller" enough for someone to fix it and not let you worry about it.

 

Please tell me you have learned something from this.

 

 

I still wanna know who worked on the car last and how the FAWK the wheel just "fell" off.

did he drift into a curb? what?

 

if im baller or not.. i just want it to be fix it, and i can simply fix it my self not becuase i dont have the money just because i konw what was done and what not, and dont feel like being over charged on labor

i dont know who worked on the car last becuase i picked it up from my dad, he became paralyzed and obvisoly can not drive the car no more..

the guy i let drive the car (doug) says that the bolts were over tourqed !!

when simply two days before i was drivin it, it was perfectly fine..

Doug is a jerkoff... if they were over torqued then your rotors could possibly warp... it wouldnt make the tire fall off...

did the studs snap off or the lugs came loose and the wheel fell off... need some more details... either way it should be covered under dougs insurance since he was driving the car at the time of the accident...

This is 90% of the time not true. In most states, coverage of the car you're in is primary (with occasional exceptions regarding medical coverage), which means if he was "watching" the car for mexican, mexican's insurance is primary, regardless of the fact that Doug was driving it.

I would call your insurance company and speak with an adjuster who can verify this. Don't speak with an Agent, as 99% of agents have no idea what the specific policy states regarding coverage in claims situations.

Just and FYI. This doesn't have more detailed claims coverage information that you need in this case, but this website can help you understand insurance coverages better for Texas.

not to get in an arguement, but how so... i mean if any one else is driving my car and an accident occurs while they are driving, theyre insurance should kick in...

again, that's not always how it works. It depends on the insurance laws in your state, but 90% of the states I'm aware of are the same as here in FL, which is: Coverage of the car you're in is primary except for Personal Injury Protection coverage.

Which means, I drive my old man's truck and total it, his insurance pays. Regardless of the fact that I was driving it.

&lt;----insurance adjuster.

killa, i would contact your insurance carrier and put in a comprehensive claim. Make doug pay your deductible. I hope you have that coverage!

 

Thats good to hear

 

How did you manage to get approved to buy an S2000?
