The end result is that for some reason, when I hit certain bumps, the front passenger wheel cover would fly off. Always the front passenger wheel, which makes me think it had something to do with the torque/differential characteristics of my FWD. Finally, because the disk bows out, it would get damaged in automated car washes that pull the car along,

I think others on this forum have had similar experiences.
