I was washing my car and noticed that one of my lugs was missing, I checked and saw that the whole stud is broken.

Driver rear:

Passenger rear:

The last time I went out, I had them all there and I parked the car so I’m guessing someone tried to do something and broke the studs.

How difficult of a fix is this? I’ve never dealt with the IRS.

Thanks

Super easy. Take the wheels off. Get an old lug nut and thread it on a couple turns. Line up the back of the stud so that it has room to exit the rear. Then hit it with a mini sledge to push it out. Un thread the lug. To put a new one in just get a new stud from the auto store and a stud installer. Put the new stud in from the rear. Slip thr stud install in. Then run a lug in with an impact.

Thank you so much. I was worried that I would have to pull out axles or spindles, etc. I was really dreading this. I was at the dealer and they were telling me this was going to be a very expensive repair.

If it's broke flush with the spindle you'll have to get a punch and just hit it out

Also if it's the front wheel be very careful the stud doesn't hit the ABS ring and break a tooth

I really hate dealerships these days. I only go there to purchase a car or buy parts I can only get at the dealership and, even then, that is hardly ever. I never go there for work to be done. They just charge to damn much for even simple repairs.

It's the rear wheel. I'm guessing someone tried to steal them and broke the lugs. It was one on each side, rear wheels only.

Yeah...what sucks is that they're right up the block. It's so close, yet so damn expensive.

What I don't get is why is there no damage to the wheel? I don't know what happened and I'm trying to figure it out.

It takes a lot of effort to break a stud. Some guy with a star wrench isn't going to randomly break one. Unless he's the hulk. More than likely whoever installed them last hit them hard with an impact and never torqued them properly. And it was just their time to let go.

Shit....then I'm just going to replace all of them.

Make sure you have enough stud sticking out for the lug nuts to bite.
