Well today i was driving home from school and i was taking a mild turn about 30 mph and i thought i heard something weird, next thing i know my tire flew off and my car slammed the ground. My tire hit my fender creasing and rolling it. Here are pictures

QUOTE(markie @ Feb 19, 2007 - 1:43 AM) [snapback]528182[/snapback] ouch, glad to know you are okay.. gluck with the repair and speedy recovery =) ps: just out of curiousity, does anyone know how difficult it would be to repair a broken stud and how much it would cost? Well.. for my own sake i am getting it done at the shop that is repairing my car. i think you can remove the disc and take it to a automotive shop (ie, PEP BOYS, AUTO ZONE) and they can repair the missing studs. QUOTE(netrata @ Feb 18, 2007 - 1:21 PM) [snapback]528010[/snapback] By chance did you overtighten your lug nuts? I remember somebody was mentioning that if you overtighten your lug nuts and not to factory torque specs then the stud itself would stretch and weaken overtime till it breaks off. I don't know who mentioned that but that might be a good reason why the wheel came off since 2 of the studs are missing. Well, it's glad to know that your ok. Well i really think its the crazy weather we received in TX lately. It will be somewhere from 50-70 and the next day plummitt to below freezing and snow.. I think that they were just old and brittle. I mean my car is 10+ years old.. stuff just gets old lol. |
