So today I was just driving to meet my girlfriend. Everything was going good. Slowed down to take a turn at about 10 mph and all I see is my tire rolling into the SUV stopped at the light. Get out, see the huge gouge I left in the road and realize my lug nut studs got completely sheared off somehow. Worst part is that it banged up my fender pretty bad. Will maybe try to get pictures some time soon.

Ouch, well looking at the pic my first thought would be someone hit those lugs with an impact wrench for way too long last time it was in the shop. Either that or you hit a big pothole while tuning at high speed, 10 MPH wouldn't do that though. I would check the other wheels to make sure they aren't over tightened and also take the rotors off and examine the broken studs... It almost looks like they got pulled clean through the hub. Did you manage to recover any of the studs that ended up in the street where this happened? You could see if they snapped from tensile or shearing forces at least. Sorry it's been a while for updates, just been super busy. I heard no sounds at all. Nothing out of the ordinary. And it baffles me even more because I had just done an hour long 75 mph drive earlier that day. Thought something would be more likely to happen at high speeds than barely moving to take a turn. Jeez I've never seen something like this happen before... Hope you can get that fixed soon and get the celi back on the road! I got it fixed.... for the most part. Luckily I had a spare hub lying around.... wheel bearing and everything. Just took the old one off and put the new one on. The only reason I had it is because for some reason my wheel bearing on that same side decided to kill itself about a year ago, so I just figured I would get a spare just in case. For now the car is running fine. Just trying to drive as little as possible and take it easy when I do. |
