wheel came off
Wife was driving jeep. Heard a flat tire sound. Checked was fine and went away.
2 miles later at low speed front wheel came.off. jeep is sitting on wheel. Im heading there any suggestions? What am I looking for in terms of damage and causes. Fender is done. |
Stud bolts, lug nuts, bearings.
You lose the hub assembly or no? |

K. All I have is pic atm.
|
Take a tow truck.
|
not a very good picture, as we cant see the hub assembly or stud bolts.
|
Isn't that supposed to be attached to something? Haha jk.
|
Wife took the picture I'm not there yet.
|
It would help if you put the lug nuts back on. jk
Im guessing an odd hub failure or all the stubs broke off. |
And... I moved it and locked keys inside. Today sucks.

Looks like a hub assebly/bearing failure to me. Same thing happened to my Xj, but it was caused by VERY bad death wobble... pulled the entire two month old assebly apart. It's a $110 part at Autozone and generally not hard to replace, unless it's completely broken as yours looks to be. We ended up welding the half of the hub assebly that's connected to the wheel to a metal workbench so we could get the wheel off. Good luck with the repair!

happend to my dad in his zj. 60mph tire beat him down the road lol. none was hurt and his fender is jacked up but it still goes like a jeep
|
does not look like a hub failure, as no lug nuts are there, Looks like under tightened lug nuts.

Agreed, could be broken studs, not likely all broke though. |

^^This. Lug nuts worked loose, then broke the last few studs probably. Had this happen last summer on me, started a thread on it as well. Did you have a rotation or brakes done recently? Stop at Autozone or similar. Grab new studs and install them if the hub bearing is still intact. |
