Ok so I went to rotate the tires due to a pulling and vibration problem o thought may bee hub assembly and while I was putting the wheel back on I noticed that the studs weren't straight with the rotor and I went to tighten the lugnuts and the whole rotor hub assembly spun I tired tightening the hub nut because the rotor looked like it wasn't tightened completely so I did and it didn't fix the problem it got so bad that tonight while I was driving home from work on the highway I felt like I had a flat tire so I stopped and checked it out that wasn't the case so I went home it got worse and worse so bad that I took a servicer road and could feel the problem even at 30 ish miles I have to drive it to work what it does its pulls hard vibrates and shakes now it feels like the wheel may fly off when im drivin I parked it please help me

The rotor isn't held on by the hub, so I'm not sure what wasn't straight. However, the brakes should hold the rotor straight. Have you checked to make sure the brake caliper is tight? Are there any loose steering components on the vehicle?

Yeah the brake calipers are tight I think that the issues of the rotor is possibly that its warped but the real problem which I didn't know the name the drive axle spindle from where it mounts on the transmission to the hub it moves like I had the wheel locked and the spindle would turn completely if I really tried the reason I noticed is when I was tightening the lug nuts down it wouldn't go on properly and it would move with it
