Re: anyone have something fall off their truck while driving?

Lost the back U-joint on a 66 Mustang back when. Made a he!!uva racket as it bounced between the highway and the floorpan. Kinda scary for a 17 year old.

The green truck here sheared a lock ring and backed off the retaining nut on the DS axle. I came around a corner in town and could see the tire in the outside mirror. The wife said that's the palest she's ever seen me. Had to put a jack under it to wait for the tow because the weight was riding on the axle itself.
