Default Thanks for your thoughts

I agree that it must have been loose to begin with as I only traveled 10-12 miles. The last time the wheels were off was 500 miles ago. I put them on myself and I am positive they were tight and fully engaged. To answer other concerns, yes the hubs are on the correct side of the car and there is no damage or misfit of the wheels or hubs? I am 100% confident that there is no assembly issue or damaged parts as I bought the car as a roller. I still fall back to the thought the geometry of the spinner as it backs off will force the safety pin inward.

Concern remains that the spinner passed the safety pin.

Good news is my wife now refuses to get in the car or allow the kids to go with me....She was with me when the problem occured.

I will call you David.
