When I replaced my left front axle I had finished up and took it to the library parking lot to see how it was. I was doing figure eights and all was fine until a clunking/vibration started to happen. Drove it back to the house fighting a vibration over 20 mph and cursing myself for doing an aftermarket axle. Went to take the wheel off and realized the bolts were loose. I then remembered that when I was going to torque the bolts my neighbor came to bs. Even had the torque wrench in my hand while we talked. i have that same t-shirt.

While waiting for the bolts, if you need the car to go to work, it is relatively safe to drive with 4 bolts, I see quite a few cars in my area (not Volvo) with only 4 bolts and seem to run fine.
Just avoid high speed etc.

These bolts are on ebay, junk yard for cheap.
Or local dealer.

My classic is doing front end work, cracking the bolts, Jack and stand, but then working on side one and forgetting about side two.

Since then, I make the protocol crack bolt, Jack stand, remove tire. That way you don't get another Tshirt. After I finish one side of brakes, the tire stays off until I'm ready to Jill, then tires on, bolts on hand thread, lower and torque to spec

As I get older I'm developing more protocols to compensate for sluggish synapses. My t-shirt drawer is already full.
