nick_ov_uk Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 thats why you should torque your wheel nuts up. ive seen that happen to a Ape i know he used to jump on the brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 looks like a spacer was fitted to me... i'm guessing on standard studs too... hence the fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Sorry, but it doesn't just 'happen'. If it does, then the car was unroadworthy and dangerous and could have killed someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 The MOT doesn't check how tight your wheel nuts are or how long your wheel studs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
