    Lugs.....

    Okay, I know this is going to sound absolutely crazy but 3 weeks ago I was driving and my wheel started shaking some. Well, when I got to where I was going I noticed that one of my lugs had broken off!!! I chalked it up as maybe a pot hole. So I got it fixed last week. Well last week two more broke on the same wheel where the first one broke off. Anyone ever heard of this? I just got my CVs replaced while it was in this time too.
