Can you post a link to that socket? (Not you if you did previously. )Having only one bent stud with no other major damage to others is impressive! Typically studs brake off clean in these situations.
It looks like the lugs were just hand tightened but never torqued when lowered and all but one managed to stayed on until he hit high speeds.
Im in the market for some thin wall deep sockets for my wheels. How do you like this brand?

I found them on amazon. With good reviews on most of their productsCan you post a link to that socket? (Not you if you did previously. )
That freaks me out. I use them exclusivelyIt has been. Discount Tire!
I don't think its any more likely to happen at DT than most other places. Just depends on where this guy gets his next job. Probably get corporate systemic action if the OP's lawyer writes a letter or files a suit. If no suit, not likely they fix anything other than fire the mechanic.That freaks me out. I use them exclusively
This thread should renamed to - Wheel fails!!!Glad you're ok. The same thing happened to me last year after a tire rotation at the dealer. I was lucky not to be on the freeway and luckier still for it to have happened in front of another Jeeper's house (in picture).
More like "Tire shop fails!"This thread should renamed to - Wheel fails!!!
Met someone on the trail on Saturday that this happened to. Their wheel went flying into the creek. They lost all their lug nuts as well.After I had my tires rotated by a national tire shop I jumped on the freeway and the front driver side tire flew off at about 60 mph. The tire flew past me and bounced over the center divider into incoming traffic. I managed to control my Jeep and pulled over to the right shoulder. Thankfully my the tire didn't hit anyone and no one was injured. It could have been a real bad situation.
I called the company who rotated my tires and they asked I get the Jeep towed to the shop they use. I did that and the Jeep is being looked at.
What type of damage can occur in this situation apart from the obvious that I am able to see? Could the differential itself orbits internals be potentially damaged?
I was wondering what to do in CA about a situation like this. We have the Bureau of Automotive Repair.After I had my tires rotated by a national tire shop I jumped on the freeway and the front driver side tire flew off at about 60 mph.
