Cant believe this happened
Well it hasn't even been a week since I had my bags installed, so today Im leaving work just about to pull out into the highway when all of a sudden my front driver side feels like it completely bottomed out. i get out of my car to find my front driver rim is completely towed in. So i slowly air up the bags and reverse into the parking lot. As i look behind the rim what do i find my nut which holds the steering knuckle and upper arm is gone HOLY **** !!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I go take a look at the other side and the nut is there but those DUMB ***** forgot to put in the pin which holds the nut to the bolt. Just cant believe this happened well at least it happen in the drive way instead of rolling down road. The shop that installed the bags is going to have to flat bed it back to the shop tomorrow morning,I'll be sure to go over their work thoroughly before i get it back out on the road.

I know on my way home there is a stretch of highway which everyone runs 70-80 mph could you imagine how bad that could of been! Not to worried about the car that is material and can always be fixed and replaced but just concerned about my safety

Yeah everything seems to be fine. right before i was on my way I was showing one of my employees how high it raises up. i guess thats when the bolt from the front the upper arm raised out from the steering knuckle .After that i backed it up only about 30ft.
