So I can't even trust anybody to tighten my wheels again... I heard a loud popping noise and I was wondering what it was... I was on a long trip about 120 miles until I got home and I felt that it had to do something with the wheels.... so I checked it and the freakn bolts were loose!

So I tighten all the bolts and the drive was wayyyy better of course, but I still had a bad feeling so I took it home and took off all the wheels, but when I got to the driver front wheel... one of the bolts were stuck on the stud! then I tried taking it off and I knew the stud was stripped and was going to break off.. so it happened.

So everything else is fine now just 1 stud on the driver front wheel is broken...

What should I do?

Buy the hubcentric wheel spacer with the extended studs like ichiba v2?

 

you can take it to the dealership or a wheel shop and just get the stud replaced...it's common on this car.

 

These wheel studs are easy to replace.

pound the old one out. there is a relief built into the hub. line it up in order to gain clearance to pull the stud fully out.

insert stud into hole. grab some thick washers, and stack a few onto the threaded side of the stud. these will serve as spacers so you can pull the stud into the hub with a lug nut. this will also ensure you dont bottom out the lug.

use hand tools - not an impact - to seat the stud. dont worry about getting it fully seated. this will occur when torquing your wheels back down.

place a box end wrench over an opposing stud and use it as the pivot to prevent the hub from turning.
