    Well Fudge - 8 Wheel Studs Sheered Off!

    This happened to me today.

    Thank goodness I was on a 45 mph two-lane road.

    All eight studs completely sheered off and damaged the fender a little.

    I guess that’s what I get, taking my truck to a local backwoods tire shop to get my tires rotated.

    I believe the air gun kid torqued the crap out of those nuts so tight that it cracked a couple of the studs.

    I had them rotated a few months ago.

    I put on a new wheel hub bearing and rotor and removed the inner fender well and wheel flare to try and straighten the fender out so the door could open.

    It was a long and draining day!

    Whew!

    Dang dude, you got lucky with just minimum damage done.

    Can you hold the shop liable for this scenario?

    Glad you didn't have a bigger accident or collide with another rig.

    I wish I could, but it would be hard to prove, being it’s been a few months since I had them rotated.

    I’m just glad I wasn’t on the interstate doing 70.

    Bummer.

    I'm glad you are okay and have minimal damage; as you said, it could have been much worse.

    You should check the torque on the other wheels and look for stretched threads.

    I rotated the tires and checked the studs on the other wheels.

    All looked good, and I torqued them all to 135 ft-lbs.

    You might want to replace the other studs.

    It would stink, but it's way better than having another event.
