Fortunately I had slowed down and was looking for a spot to pull over when it happened, so I was only going maybe 30 mph or less.

[@MegaNardman]

First, I'm super happy that you escaped harm with only a lesson learned. That said, everyone should be extra cautious after having work done on your car. Don't ever assume that the previous mechanic didn't miss anything (even if that mechanic was you). Also, people should educate themselves about the signs of loose tie rods and worn wheel bearings. Both of these have pretty obvious signs (if you know what to look for), and both carry the possibility of absolutely ending you! On a much lighter note, Peter, would it be possible to share your filming setup for driving (including cameras & mounts)? I really like your setup, and have struggled to find good places to mount cameras on my 981 BS. Thanks, and here's to lessons learned and safe driving!

[@peterfritzphoto]

Wise words. For filming, I'm constantly changing things, but I use a mix of Delkin Fat Gecko suction mounts, Neewer suction mounts, an extension pole for off-side front/rear wheel action shots, a pair of DJI Action 4s, two Insta360 GO3s, and various mics (stereo is preferred), connected to the Zoom H1Essential 32-Bit Float recorder (32-bit helps with huge dynamic range fluctuations).

[@peterfritzphoto]

@@MegaNardman The Insta360 GO3S is amazing, and extremely versatile when to comes to placement and remote monitoring. But if you need longer run times or the ability to swap out batteries, the DJI Action 4 is very hard to beat. As for mics - inside the car, The Zoom H1Essential is small, light, and delivers excellent quality audio - in stereo. If you plan to run a mic outside the car, you'll want to connect a mic with a higher SPL rating than just the H1E, and one of the best performing (and best value) ones out there is the Rode VideoMicro.

Glad that in the end luck played a good hand and you got the car fixed before a bad day happened. Still though what caused the issue (loose nut)? If torqued correctly and checked as per the maintenance schedule even bumpy roads would not cause that issue? A pothole or something like that would have caused immediate damage and tow truck time I would think. The issue you had seems to be a gradual problem pointing to either a flaw with car maintenance or Porsche had something wrong. The latter is unlikely given that Porsche issues become internet fodder very quickly thanks to forum chat e.g. IMS bearing. So, maybe a garage did not do the right maintenance or a faulty part? Not looking for blame, more about finding the cause so that the right fix is implemented.
