Lug/stud help please.

Cleaning my truck and just noticed this. Got new tires installed 2 weeks ago. Is this an easy fix I can do? I’m stressing over it because the shop that installed everything is closed tomorrow and I have a 6 hour road trip Monday.

 

I personally would begin looking at a rental car. If one stud is snapped no telling what they did to the rest of them. Tightened them with an air wrench instead of by hand?

 

Not sure. I did see the tech on the opposite wheel using a torque wrench. This missing stud is on the back passenger wheel.

 

Easy fix if you have impact gun. You have to check other lug to make sure they are not over tighten also

 

Is this the same procedure on an 18 Tacoma?

It supposed to be

 

Check the remaining studs by hand and drive safely.

 

yes, it's the same as that video and I wouldn't sweat driving it on 5 for a week or so.

 

Five will be fine! Just make sure the rest are good to go.

 

There is a good rule always hand tighten lug nuts.

 

You'll be fine on your trip. The only thing I'd be worried about is if they overtighten any other and stretched studs.
