My friend did me a favour to swap my wheels from winter to summer while i was working on his car. He changed my wheels. I drove the car and i heard some knocking noise on on the ps area wheel. I pulled over the side street and checked the wheels by shaking em. Turns out the passenger side wasnt tightened properly (pretty losse) and the rest werent very tight.

So now when i drive and let go of the throttle/brakes theres some knocking.

Do you guys have any idea on what it is?

I got home, jacked the car and found out the studs were all loose. So i decided to clean the surface area and inside with break cleaner and sandpaper. I applied some glue my dad got from work. I then drove it to the mechanic, borrowed his shop, and changed the bearing and hub :(

Might have to stop letting that friend work on your car...
Always torque your wheels to 80ft/lb and recheck them within 100-150km down the road after the install.
