OH MY GOD!
I deserve the Doofus award for sure.
I just came back from a quick run to Autozone.
I was heading back from the store and turned out onto the highway.
I got up to 70 mph and was cruising along. Then whoosh. The steering wheel is in my hands. Only no longer attached to the column. [censored]. I pooped the wheel back on and very carefully pulled over.
The retaining screw had just worked its way off.
I had felt a slight wobble in the wheel lately, but it had been there since I got the car. The damn nut came loose. I get the doofus award for not checking. This almost cost me my life. I will never take anything on my car for granted again.
Just needed to share!
AAARRRRGGGGG!!!!!!
