Lug nuts.

How

you asked what else could it be. It could be they need to be torqued down. If you have aftermarket wheels having the right lug nuts is a must. If you’re running wheel spacers??? That could be an issue.

I have aftermarket rims. Could my rims come off going down the road?

How

I think @OR17TRD meant check to see if the lug nuts are torqued to spec and if you have aftermarket wheels, make sure you have the correct lug nuts for those wheels. What are we working on? Check tie rod ends? Loose rack & pinion? Always a possibility of a weight flying off and you're no longer balanced.

If it’s the lug nuts are loose. Hell yes your wheel and tire can come off

What did they come off of? Or were they new? Did you get lug nuts with them? Check the center bore?

 

[Lil G]

Some after market rims take special lug nuts . If you bought the rims used you could have the wrong lug nuts. Just something to check

Sometimes people need to hear the same thing from multiple people before they believe it.

Did they install them?

 

[jk252]

Yes im getting a balanced one more time

I'd still make sure your lug nuts are tight before going back to the shop. If they ARE loose,... Stop, take a video, then proceed to jack up the truck, snug, lower, torque to spec, and go tell them to get your $hit right.

All any of us are trying to do is help. It’s very unsafe if the lugs or the rim/wheel is loose or doesn’t fit the center hub. I figure you will live through a wheel coming off the truck at 70 mph down the road. But a kid riding in a car is what I worry about and I’m sure you do to. So get them to check it out. Be safe dude
