4000 2 wheel drive vibration

[GMBCHEF at aol.com]

Hey all. A friend of mine has a front wheel drive 4k that had new struts installed in the front a few months ago. Her brother was driving it when 2 lug bolts came out and wheel was partly separating from the axle. After putting the lug bolts back in, he drove it for a few days then it started to vibrate bad enought so its scary to drive. All lug bolts are in, 15 inch wheels. Could an axle be bent?
