Shouldn't happen that often. IIRC, your Spiders are lugcentric, so make sure you torque down the wheel while it's in the air, or just barely touching the ground.

Yea I was actually surprised they broke. At the same time as well, on two different wheels. It was shortly after I had my tires balanced and rotated. So I went back and complained and had them replace the studs for free.

They didn't like it too much but I think they warped my Front Rotors at the same time. I replaced them so I guess they got off easy. That would have been alot harder to prove I guess.

Needless to say that was the last time I went there or let someone use a air gun to tighten my wheels. Now I always watch them tighten with a torque bar. wink

Still I didn't think the studs should have broken that quick. I guess they tightened them pretty tight. Or it could have been something else??
