Re: Broken Lug Stud
Do you have spacers? Ron

I was changing my oil today and rotating my tires when I took off the front left tire I noticed that the whole disc had shifted. So that the wheel studs where no longer centered. Didn't have time to try and straighten it out. When I put the wheel back on I was torquing the the lugs to factory specs 85 ft lbs. when I snapped one of the studs off and another one feels like it is ready to go. When I checked the broken stud with a micrometer it was much thinner towards the part that snapped. So at some point the stud had been stretched. I'm assuming at the factory, because since I've owned the truck I'm the only one that has removed the tires and always do it by hand with a torque wrench. Went to the dealership and the service manager said they would replace the studs tomorrow under warranty. You can see the disc has shifted in the photos also the stretched broken stud.
