361 miles on ODO broken lug stud WTH??

hahaha

 

Those have definitely have been over torqued at sometime.

Back in the 90's I had a MK III Supra and I had a half dozen snap just like you described....like an 6 mm bolt. I replaced all 20 lug studs there was no way I was going to trust them.

 

Damn! Yeah man I feel you. I ordered enough to replace them all.

 

You might want to buy an installation tool, they're pretty cheap and it will make it easier.

 

on the brz/gt86 forums, this has been a recurring issue since 2013.

many swap to ARP wheel studs and never go back. i just ran to autozone and swapped the few that popped.

 

i dunno, just another experience with a different toyota variant.

google says oem wheel studs are m12x1.5, and about 60mm long.

 

I got a Lisle installation tool. It didn't fit because there is very little space between the stud and the 108mm hub register. I just used a thick washer and open-ended lugnut with the flat side toward the hub flange. Greased the threads and drew the stud in with an impact, then cleaned off the grease with brake cleaner.

I just bought a pack of 10 wheel studs, Dorman P/N 610266, grade 10.9. Holding up fine after four seasons of wheeling, and I beat on the truck.

 

Thanks! That’s actually the ones I orderd

those are actually the ones I ordered appreciate the help and I’m glad to hear they are holding up

 

Guess my impact is the correct torque!! But it wouldn’t get them off the first time dealership over tightened them if I cant get them off with a 4 way without a pipe they are over tightened.

 

Curious why you took the wheels off twice in 360 miles ?

 

I’m guessing someone Ugga ugga it

 

I'm guessing you didn't read the thread.

 

New wheels and tires. And then yesterday I put eibach stage 2 kit on

 

I didn’t notice until a couple weeks later when I was adjusting coilovers. I called discount and they didn’t even question it. Told me they had a shop that will fix it (lucked out, it was actually my alignment shop that I go to). Told me to go in and just tell them to send the bill to discount tire, based on that I assume it happens pretty frequently. Also asked me to send them a link of where to buy the replacement lug nuts and they ordered them for me.

 

Scary to know that something worse could have happened

 

To beat the dead horse, Torque specs are usually different wet vs dry
