Hello. 3 weeks ago I had a problem with my vehicle which required some work being done. I had a sway bar link pin set and caliber bolt set installed. All was fine until yesterday when I noticed vibrations while traveling. My lug nuts on my front wheel were all loose. The car even trembles a little going slow at about 10 mph. Im wondering if this could be a tire balance problem or maybe the repair I had done needs to be checked out again.

The mechanic that replaced the tire / wheel didn't tighten them properly or at all. You are lucky the wheel didn't come off. I would let them know about the problem. It may have damaged the threads on the studs if it was very loose.

Let me know if you have other questions.
