Thanks Jake. I think it will be ok though as far as the chassis. It's a flaw from the subframe maker.

Mike,

Chris here. Just read your thread about your trouble yesterday. Glad you are OK. Could have been much worse.

Hang in there.

Hey Chris, it was not to bad. I was laughing about it because nothing happened and the guys took care of it. I was just glad I had an excuse for my wife to drink beer all day.

it could be a problem from the subframe maker, however, i doubt it came aligned and ready to go, more then likely someone aligned it, thus this is where the problem is, if the shop working on the car aligns the car, and see's there an issue you don't look past it and wait for it to loosen up and fall off then say theres a problem, i would be looking at whoever aligned the car. and the caliper bolts falling out jambing in the wheel is unacceptable also, those two things are some of the easiest to double check and make sure they do not fall out. goodluck i really hope you get your car sorted, wish i was closer, i would be more then happy to come over on a weekend.
goodluck

Mike, I'm glad nothing major happened and they were able to come get the car!

Jake, I think you have valid points! I hate to talk bad about a shop I don't even know...but this isn't the first time something has fallen off this car!!

lol maybe the car is jinxed.
The alignment shop may not have tightened the nuts down. The wheel coming off before was because the lugs were not fully pressed into the axle. The caliper may have been another issue.

Yeah I know, but honestly this is not that big a deal. They are going though it tomorrow to see if there is any other issues that they didn't address and are fixing these issues for me. It's part of the sorting out process.
