on my way home the car started to wobble and when i got out to check the wheels ive snapped ANOTHER FUCKING STUD!!!!! what causes this...... this excessive stud snapping. could it be the mazda steelies i have on it? other sites say its loose lugs but ive torgued them bitches down. what do u guys think. its my front driver wheel that keeps breaking.

it just seems odd that two would go out on the same wheel. almost to coincidental to be so. any other things that could cause this tho.

loose lugs.. make sure you re-torque them after 100 miles.

do the mazda wheels fit your hubs correctly? the center of the wheel shouldn't have a gap between it and the bearing cap. that is where the wheel is supposed to center and it also takes quite a bit of the load.

the wheels fit fine. they are just the steelies and i have more than one on there. i think the shaking due to a bad tie rod caused accessive load and broke em.
