Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a wheel stud?
Wheel lug studs are large bolts that project from the wheel hub, and allow the lug nuts to hold the wheels onto the wheel hub.
How does the wheel stud work?
Most non-European cars use wheel lug studs, which are pressed into the back of the wheel hub, and project outward from the wheel hub. European models use lug bolts that screw into the wheel and wheel hub from the outside, and pinch the wheel to the hub.
What are the symptoms related to a bad wheel stud?
When failure occurs, the wheel studs break off. Before then, you might notice that the studs are rusted or otherwise damaged.
Can I drive with a wheel stud problem?
Driving a vehicle missing a wheel lug stud is a bad idea, and can be dangerous. If the car is missing just one stud, you should be able to safely drive it to a repair facility. But don't wait long, as there's an increased chance the other lug studs will fail due to overloading.
How often do wheel studs need to be replaced?
Wheel lug studs break fairly commonly, but it's usually caused by overtightening, rust or vandalism. The chances of a wheel stud randomly becoming an issue are slim on most cars. In location where the roads are salted, the studs may rust and break more frequently.
