    Driving home from cottage, approximately 200km, as i was approaching my house (maybe 300 yards away), i turned left, heard a "clunk" and front right wheel started to shake. As i pulled into my driveway i noticed 4 out of 5 front bolts holding my wheel had sheared off. These are original factory wheels. All service has been done by ford dealer.
