My son was driving my 1997 Lexus LS 400 and after feeling the rear end "wobble", discovered this (see photo). Was it jus the lug nuts working loose or something else - any comments would be appreciated.

If I am looking at the picture correctly those look like the wrong lug nuts they should be the sleeve style with washer not the taper style. If that is the case I would get them changed out right away.

Thanks - I had the tires replaced from a Goodyear dealer - will check the other wheel lug nuts also.

yeah those idiots used acorn style lugs it looks like. your car needs "mag" style lugs. flat mounting surface and a thick shank that goes into the wheel.
