had a shop do an allignment of friday, they didn't do it because i fogot to give them the key to my lock nuts, and they said they needed to get the wheel off due to seized adjuster bolts.
drove truck home fri night, 3 minute drive, maybe 50 km/h tops.
did not drive truck on saturday.
sunday, 15 minutes out of town, at the first fast section of the highway (100 km/h), i hear a faint whumping noise, see a pull out a few hundred meters ahead.
all of a sudden violent shaking for a second, then screaching sound, then see my wheel and tire pass me!
mash brakes, skid 100 meters or so to a halt on the pullout. very lucky timing/location.
so, one theory is the shop loosened some of the lugs, got to the lock nut, realized he didn't have the key, and fogot to retighten the other lugs.
of course they deny this.
here are some pics, any help at all is appreciated.
btw, have had the rims/tires for approx 50k km, no issues ever.
