That was close!

Monday, as I was traveling from Charleston to Atlanta, I asked if something broke mechanically on the car, causing a wreck, would insurance pay for everything? Nothing happened and I came home in one piece last night.

But…. Today the front end felt funny as the day went on. When I got home just now, I looked under the truck and the nut on the right side tie rod was missing. DOH!

I reused the nylock nut working on the truck last weekend (in the heat), so it either worked its way loose or the nut behind the wheel forgot to tighten it. I’m going with loose nut behind the wheel.🥵🤯

Lesson learned. Double and triple check your work.
