Wait what?! They didnt fix it for you?

There could be another problem. We just had a car come into the shop that we put new wheels on. The customer had it for a week said it felt like one of the tire was falling off. So we put the car up in the air and he was right! The wheel was falling off then when we took it off 3 of the 5 studs broke and another one was stripped. One of out more experianced techs did it so it definatly didnt leave loose. We started to check the other wheels and had 2-3 studs on each corner break. Here when the rim went on you had to align the wheel on the studs. If you just put the tire on and put the lugs on with a impact gun the wheel went on offset like it fell down on the studd instead of centering the stud.


You could try taking the wheel off then put 2 lug nuts on and make sure the wheel goes on straight. Also try rotating them. If you feel it in the wheel the front or front left tire could be out. It migth straighten itself out if you put it in the front. Id do the 2 lug nuts to all of them if you had a problem with studs breaking.
