There is a bumper sticker for Rovers that says "Watch for falling parts." Found out why.

On the way to have lunch with Glen yesterday I noticed a new vibration when turning. It kinda felt and sounded like a cv joint going out. Figured I would be repairing the 4 wheel drive stuff on the rover when it got really bad. Walking out from Glens office I noticed a couple of lug nuts sticking out much farther than the others on the drivers side rear wheel. Got the lug wrench out and tightened those two and the rest were a turn loose. Checked all the other lugs and they were good. Driving to lunch the vibrations and noises were gone. Whew! It would not have been fun to be cruising down the highway and have a wheel come off!

I know I torqued ALL the lugs to spec when I bled the brakes 3 weeks ago. A friend that helped pump the pedal bleeding the brakes specifically remembers me torquing the drivers rear too.
