Yesterday I took one wheel off cleaned it and put it back on. Today I go for a drive and the steering is loose. The car also pulls to the right and there is a loud thuding noise as if I had a flat tire

The counter weight is still on the outside of the rim but does anyone know if the inside has one as well? All the lugs are tight and I don't see any broken suspension parts at a quick glance.

Anyone have any ideas because I can't drive it at this point. Just checking here first because the dealer is over 1 hour away.

Thanks

 

double check everything you did, and make sure your lugs are on tight.

and make sure you post in the right section

 

Yeah thought I was in suspension and it looks like I'm missing the inside counter weight.

 

I was wrong counter weight is there and I have lost some break pressure as well calling a tow.

 

Have you ever taken the wheel off before? Sound like you didn't attach the wheel back on correctly... Did you center it on the hub and check the torque on the lug nuts?

 

As far as I know I put it back on correctly it's never been off before. I did take it off a second time and put it back on just to double check. Does the wheel have to go back on the the same stud pattern it came off? Is there a stud one to line up with a wheel hole one - if that makes sense.

I did notice that the gap from the tire to the fender was wider than before the wheel came off. It's almost like something happen to the shock or spring was unseated. I also lost brake pressure twice within a couple miles and I had to pump the brakes to get it back. It's on the way to the dealer now anyway so I just see what they say.
