Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN IT BEGAN MAKING A NOISE AND THE WHEEL BEGAN TO WOBBLE. WHEN SHE STOPPED, THE WHEEL WAS WOBBLY. HER DAD INVESTIGATED THE CAUSE THINKING IT WAS A BEARING GOING OUT BUT FOUND OUT THAT THE SPINDLE NUT THAT HOLDS THE WHEEL ON HAD BACKED OFF. THE WHEEL HAS NEVER BEEN WORKED ON AND IT HAD THE NEW TYPE OF NUT THAT DOES NOT HAVE A KOTTER PIN IN IT AND IS THE TYPE THAT IS "SELF LOCKING". NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT DID NOT LOCK AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THE WHEEL HAD COME COMPLETELY OFF.*AK
