another weird noist tonight:(..help

ok...here i am again with ANOTHER PROBLEM..ugh lol..i was going down the road today..and took a right turn..bout a tenth a mile after i started hearing and feeling a thump thump thump..in sync with how fast the tires are spinning....almost as if the bead popped and the tire was going flat...

-i stopped and checked the tires and all was good...no flat tire..

-got home to see if anything was hanging..car was lower ina corner etc..nothing...its raining out and its dark so i cant do much searching now...it will have to wait till the morning....


---anybody experience or have any opinion on to what it may be..ask any questions neccesary to narrowing it down thanks!!!..i have work tomorrow at noon so ill be up early to start looking...hopefully based on some help...


OH..i think i kinda noticed my stearing being a lil more playful..like..there was more play in the slight turning...so maybe my stearing rack? idk help plz!!

so umm....just went out and checked...and for like 3 months ive had 1 snapped stud on the back left tire...and i went out to check just now and ALL the lug nuts on that back left tire were all the off.....like seriously, the tire was sitting 1/2 inch from the rotor:/....not good...luckely i was able to tighten them all up...im bout to take it to 7/11 to make sure they're snug...

--...ill be keepingthe jack and lug key w/ socket in the car for a few days lol..until i put all new healthy studs in...so...for everyones huumor, dont e brake slide multiple times on the tire that has only 4 lugs!!! hahaha
