yeah took me like 20 minutes to do it, so i was allh appy, then i decided to drive into town cause i can now take corners without an insanely loud clicking noise... i just got off the highway onto a double laned road, i go about a 1/2 mile then my steering wheel starts shaking violently, i was like o sh*t, so i pull off the road, and it stops, im like oook, so i put it in first, creep about 5 feet, and CLUNK my passenger front wheel falls off.. after inspecting, the lug studs BROKE from the hub, well, 3 of the 4 did. and the car landed on the caliper bracket on the inside of the wheel, breaking off a peice of the caliper bracket, i had to get it towed, and a dude spent all day working on it, i knew i had positive camber on that wheel for some reason, i had a bad wheel bearing on that wheel.. soo i hope tomarrow when they put in the new wheel bearing and give it an alignment itll be ok... im just glad it didnt decide to fall off when iw as doing 70 on the highway...

 

how the fuck did you break 3/4 lug studs?

 

because he over torqued the wheel when he reinstalled it.

 

That sucks that happened dude, that happened to me in my old mustang that shit sucked. The wheel almost fell off but managed to stay on so I just got it worked on. Your lucky you weren't doing 70 on the freeway a lot could have happened then and it wouldn't have been good at all... At least you tried to do the work yourself, you learn from your experiences.

 

let me correct myself, I changed the CV joint ont he drivers side, and didnt touch a damn thing on the pass side, thank you very much for taking me for a idiot saying i overtorqued my lug nuts....

 

it is really easy to do on an older car. i take you for a dumbass because there was likely some tells before THREE OF FOUR BROKE OFF. wheel studs dont all fail at once.

 

assumption makes an ass out of you and me

so quit assuming you know why things break before you know everything

 

as i said earlier, 3 of 4 wheel studs wont simoultaneously fail.

besides, you race autocross, you know damn well thats not true.

 

under most circumstances but i'm not saying that i know what happened, and lol two people got removed from participating in the last even because of broken lug bolts/studs (both hondas ), but honestly i don't know why they all broke at once but i've seen stranger conicidences with things breaking on cars

 

right, and u drove my car when??? im not some phuck who doesnt care about my car, i actually regulary check my oil, tire pressure, and lug tightness, thus if a lug stud was broke i wouldve KNOWN, i did all that 2 days ago when i bought 8 bucks worth of gas at rapid roberts, As i said, the steering wheel did violent shaking for about 6 seconds total before i had totally stopped, maybe perhaps the wheel shaking was caused by, low and behold, broken wheel studs...
