Well, my husband was riding on the highway and two things happened. We just haven't been able to figure out which happened first. In the end, the front passenger wheel had a blow out and the back passenger wheel come completely off. There were no brake pads or nothing left. Everything was gone, the only thing left was the axle and the shcoks and struts. People when I say the entire wheel came off, I mean just that. Someone told me that the car had to be broken at the time I bought it. Any answers will be greatly appriciated.

If the wheel was not tightened enough the wheel could fall of and the inpact of the disk roter or hub on the road could break off the entire axle. Or maybe it was faulty in the first place, i would have to know the speed you were going.

The bolts are called lug bolts or wheel studs and the nuts that bypass on them are the lug nuts. fairly uncommon for them to interrupt, the only time I quite have had this ensue replace into whilst they have been the two overtightened or the tire hit an extremely great impediment at extreme velocity as in working off the line. in case you had any tire artwork accomplished at present take the bolts in and show them, they'll in all probability restore if for a discounted value to evade a regulation tournament. they try very no longer hassle-free to evade this style of hassle. If there replace into no different injury, the bolts are no longer plenty greater desirable than a dollar each and every, and perhpas an hour exertions to get the previous ones out and new ones in. one hundred money could desire to conceal it, yet pay attention there could be different injury so a mechanic isn't unavoidably attempting to tear you off if he discovers greater injury.

is the wheel nuts came off the brake disk which is attached to the wheel could pull off the brake calipers.
had a front wheel come off, the car stopped and we watched the wheel roll away down the road ahead of us.

wheel retaining nuts loose look for witness marks on the wheel.But no one can be absolutely sure,to have ripped all your pads out is strange.
