Driving about 50mph and the front end felt like it was coming apart. Steering wheel shaking bad and wheels felt wobbly. I have had this problem before and noticeably when I hit a bump or pothole at or above 45mph. What scared me the most I was coming up on traffic and had to brake. Braking while the vehicle is wobbly is very scary and feels as if the whole thing is coming apart.

About 6 weeks ago my back right wheel actually fell off coming down the road at about 35mph. After I looked - one of the studs where the lugs go on actually broke and the other studs were stripped which caused the lugs to fall off. All studs replaced after that.luckily I was close by my mechanic this morning when it was about to happen again - the back right wheel. There was a stud that was broken and the rest of the lugs were very loose.
