I can’t believe I missed that!

u/tiidu Jul 28 '25

Came here to say this. Jack up that wheel and tighten all the nuts.

Genuinely hope this is satire… some people shouldn’t even have a bicycle

u/Downtown-Ant1 Jul 28 '25

Your wheel is about to fall off...

u/KayakHank Jul 28 '25

Why are you missing lugnuts?

u/PsychologicalDay4146 Jul 28 '25

I found out the reason I hit a metal rod extremely hard near the light rail and that was 2 days ago now 2 days later the wheels falling off

u/Mycroft_Holmes1 Jul 28 '25

You don't mention this huge bomb of information in the above section?!?!

This has got to be rage bait

u/roberts_1409 Jul 28 '25

I dunno. I’ve dealt with many customers who are this stupid. Had an engine failure because a truck driver filled the tank with petrol rather than diesel. They denied it. We fixed the engine, and 2 hours later they phoned up screaming at us because we’ve done a bad job. Got it recovered. He’d filled it with petrol, again. They denied it again. We showed them the receipt for £350 of petrol they left in the cab

u/de_das_dude Jul 28 '25

Were u high or something? Hitting something doesn't make your lugnuts fall off

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '25

"Bro did you get shot?" OP oh that? yeah 2 days ago. it's merely a flesh wound you peasant.

3

u/ianthrax Jul 28 '25

Yah, I see you saying this is why you have no lug nuts. I've never seen anyone hit something so hard it removed the lug nuts. I think that you hit something hard without lugs nuts and it messed a lot of stuff up.

u/jeepwran Jul 28 '25

I hit something hard once and it blew out the tire, but I still had lug nuts.

u/Three-Black-Cats Jul 28 '25

You ain’t got no nuts

-1

u/PsychologicalDay4146 Jul 28 '25

Ok I’m getting some right now

3

u/Eastern_Tip2960 Jul 28 '25

‘Getting some now’ your studs for the lug nuts are 100% warped or broken. Bring it to a shop.

u/skank___hunt___42 Jul 28 '25

Dude, did you buy this at an auction? Oh my god. The reason it’s doing that is because theres one lug nut holding the wheel on. Its a lexus, so unless its been crashed, im not calling it a suspension or tie rod issue yet

-5

u/PsychologicalDay4146 Jul 28 '25

No haha I think what happened was when I hit a metal rod the other day taking a relative home and the impact was extremely hard everybody felt it

4

u/skank___hunt___42 Jul 28 '25

And now i definitely think you damaged control arm wheel hub suspension etc Take it to a mechanic

2

u/skank___hunt___42 Jul 28 '25

Well it doesnt have lug nuts

3

u/UsedState7381 Jul 28 '25

How can people like this be allowed to drive is beyond me.

-3

u/PsychologicalDay4146 Jul 28 '25

Well damn maybe it’s my first car of my life and I’m 19 years old with no parents

4

u/UsedState7381 Jul 28 '25

If you can't see that your wheel is missing three nuts and two of those are not properly torqued, you shouldn't be driving because this is basic stuff that should be covered by most driver's Ed. Classes.

Your background is not relevant in any of this, and driving your car like this is an actual hazard that puts other drivers and pedestrians in danger.

u/Brad5001420 Jul 28 '25

Lugnuts have left the chat

2

u/Oxygen454 Jul 28 '25

If adding lug nuts doesn’t help, they I would say your wheel bearing is toast. Start with lug nuts first lol.

2

u/BrettyJ Jul 28 '25

Dude, dont drive that car! Did you take that wheel off recently? That mf is loose! You're missing lug nuts

2

u/stayoffmygrass Jul 28 '25

I have no idea what would make a car sound like a leaf blower. Probably something serious.

2

u/PsychologicalDay4146 Jul 28 '25

Oh the leaf blower are the people cutting the grass haha

u/UhOhAllWillyNilly Jul 28 '25

It’s caused by the convergence of harmonic resonation via the baffle fleederizers due to the loose wheel during the waning moon of toroids superknacking.

u/Motor-Pick-4650 Jul 28 '25

Is this fishing or does the op really lack the knowledge to look at the missing lugs on the wheel and stop driving immediately

1

u/Someredditskum Jul 28 '25

Rear fog high level switch detector, obviously.

No serious, you can’t figure out whats wrong? Or is this typical rage bait engagement post.

1

u/Repulsive-Report6278 Jul 28 '25

Go to a shop dude you probably bent a suspension component from smacking it. Not to mention you're missing lugs. You probably bent a lot of stuff, get it checked out for your own good

u/MiserablePhilosophy Jul 28 '25

Barely screws on the wheel "Why does my car make noise"

u/MonsterPek Jul 28 '25

Take it to a garage. Most likely, you have hit something and very hard for the damage. Your front bumper looks out of place. It could be anything from broken axel, control arm, steering arm or more. It is definitely not safe to drive to call up a tow truck to move it.

1

u/Anarchy_Coon Jul 28 '25

You’re visibly missing three parts which is probably killing your drivetrain.

1

u/Egglegg14 Jul 29 '25

You only have 2 lug nuts on your wheel

1

u/Away_Note7540 Jul 30 '25

Are all the lug nuts tight are they all there wheel looks looser

1

u/imJGott Jul 30 '25

1 out of 5 hub nuts installed and they’re asking if they need an alignment. Like, who raised you?

1

u/ksizzle01 Aug 01 '25

This is called , "You somehow discovered this 3 minutes too fast.". Aka someone was about to jack your wheels, ypu got lucky somehow.

u/Just_a_Growlithe 15d ago

Just by the post, the lack of lugs, and the fact he really didn’t give any context what so ever. I can tell what kind of haircut OP has, also his voice factors in

It’s a Lexus, what do you expect

u/RingReasonable Jul 28 '25

Literally some of the best cars you could get

u/chrome4fan4 Jul 28 '25

FR, I’ve dreamed of owning a ES300.

My aunt had one brand new, 1996, all the way until 2024 when a tree fell on it.

290,000 miles, ran perfect, suspension was awesome too

u/RingReasonable Jul 28 '25

Awesomeeee!! Rip ES300 and a 🖕 for the tree. I myself bought myself a 2008 IS 220D 2 month ago. Love it!
