While driving to Wally world earlier today, My wheel came off. First time anything like this has happened to me.

If anyone within a couple hours of Rochester NY has a fender, let me know. Doesnt need to be perfect cause it'll be getting cut for flare in the spring.

 

Ive had this happen to me once. The weirdest thing is when you slam to the ground and come to a stop, but you can see the wheel keep rolling ahead of you wondering if it will stop lol.

 

looks like I found one of my instagram followers on here lol

 

What caused it? Did the lugs break? I'd hate for that to happen at 70mph!

 

Exactly lol. I just sat there thinking "damn, I have to chase that wheel"



All 4 lugs came off at once. I heard Thump! Thump! Thump! then it the ground. Only doing about 30...on a main road....in 5 o'clock traffic

 

Sounds like someone didn't tighten the lugs down last time!

 

Or someone who doesnt like you untorqued them.

 

My own fault, most likely. I haven't had the wheel off in a few months though.

Glad it didn't damage anything other than the fender. I've got a good buddy attempting to straighten the fender. Only having him fix whats not going to be covered by the flare.

 

that stinks. i have a fender but i'm nowhere close to you.

 

Honestly, call a Mazda dealership. They still have ~150 of both left and right brand new fenders available, and the price is pretty reasonable. I want to say ~$120 of the top of mt head

 

FA01-52-211D $100 brand new

 

^ha ha, beat ya to it

 

Are SA fenders still available?

 

don't know but i have a pair of those too, lol.. so if you need them and are ever out this way at least you will know someone that has them

 

I have a free one, no rust at 17844, lemme know!

 

Funny of you to be asking for a fender. i just had a blow out like an hour ago now i am looking for a passenger side for my 83. anyone have one? Help please!

 

I have a used one and I also have a brand new one last from the ware house

 

What do you want for the used one?

 

Contact me. Im in Brockport and work for the City of Rochester. I have one for you.

 

For those who are wondering, Mazda still has them. $159 for left or right.

Just called them to find out.

 

Lost a wheel on the left rear of my 81 a couple of months ago at highway speed. Wheels were torqued about an hour beforehand. I would totally allow it to be my fault if 2 people didn't watch me torque all 4 (with a torque wrench!) None of the other wheels were loose. I suspect the 10 minutes of donuts I was doing had something to do with it though.
