    Sorry bro you're wrong.

    2018 and newer ARE aluminum.

    I had to buy one from the dealer.

    Re: Aluminum Studs..... seriously

    Are the lug nuts aluminum as well?

    Steel nuts on aluminum studs is a recipe for disaster with intergranular corrosion.

    Did the dealer happen to tell you the aluminum series and composition of the stud?

    Another big issue with breaking wheel studs is from people trying to run NON-hubcentric wheels.

    I bought one from the dealer today as well, same part number since 2012. Where are you getting your information?

    Side note, they do have a silver zinc coating on them so they may "look" different but they are steel. Just called one of the engineers at AAM. My guess is the dealer pulled a fast one on you.

    Ok I will investigate further. I did take dealers “word” but it was from 3 separate dealers. All told me aluminum. The only reason I ever asked was because my tire guy tried to order the one that snapped and he said they are aluminum and only available from dealer. I certainly hope you all are correct so I can educate the dealers parts men I spoke with ??

    Yup, got the correct information from American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM).

    Alright I certainly appreciate it.

    I would normally have looked into this myself but 4 so called pros in the bizz tell me that.... I didn’t have a reason to think otherwise. Well except it made zero sense. But for sure. Thanks.

    Id still love to know why I had a snapped one. I must simply assume while rotating my wheels they over torqued.

    That’s a big over imo.
