okay,
my left rear wheel is wobbly. What happened is that i was going around a round-a-bout fairly slowly and then all i feel is the rear of my car go down and so i stopped immediately only to find out that my rear wheel had come off!!!! I was so shocked. Anyway, i jacked up the car and then put the wheel back on and slowly drove back home with the nuts and everything on. When i got home, i reinspected everything and it seemed ok still. I doubled checked all the nuts were tight and they were so I have no idea why they become loose. I was so paranoid that I kept double checking to see that they were on tightly everyday for about a week after and everything seemed fine.
But lately, a few other people have told me that the rear left where the wheel came off is wobbly and looks like its going to fall off but I have checked and the nuts are tight. After I got someone else to drive my car so I could see the rear, I saw that the rear is actually wobbling but it has no effect on the steering so I couldn't feel the difference.
After the wheel came off, the car was sitting on the rotors but it appears aesthetically to be fine. I know that there is suspension damage but, anyone have a rough idea of what it is? Control arm? I know I will have to take it to the mechanic. My car is a 96 ek1.
