| The lugs: nuts snapped in half. the tire pushed into my passanger door and buckled. the tire then went under my car and lifted my car up ( like when you hit a curb but higher). then the tire came out and rolled down the street. i ended up injuring my back. i had to get a tow truck to tow me home. i had to replace 4 of the lug nuts that broke i need a new tire, rim and fender i also have to have the door fixed. the passanger door will not open and i may have a small crack in the windshield. as of now all that has been fixed is the lug nuts. i still have bad back pains from this. *ak | |||
