| I was driving east, just past monroe, la, on i-20 just prior to mile marker 126 when the right passenger tire came off my e150 1993 ford van. i was able to maintain control of the van to get it off the road. thankfully, the rim/tire, and brake caliper did not hit a vehicle; i found it about a half mile prior to where i was able to get the van stopped. i thought i a blowout had occurred but when i looked, there was no rim or tire on the van. i bought the van new in late 1992 and have maintained it well throughout its lifetime. how can this happen? just prior to getting to monroe, there was a wobble in the steering like a big gust of wind had hit it or i had struck a recap. i got out and checked but found nothing unusual. i drove on to monroe and ate lunch at chili's. shortly after getting back on i-20 is when this episode happened. a lot of people could have been injured or killed. weather was clear with light breeze and no rain. this is the first time this has happened to me. the van was towed by aaa by bears to hixson ford in monroe, la for repair where it is now waiting. the wheel well, passenger door and various trim items were also damage due to the wheel coming off and having it towed. *tr | |||
