stud broke off...question

[Matt94GT]

I was taking off my wheels the other day and the lugnuts were damn tight, the locking out kept spinning so I had to get some pressure on the wheel and I finally got it off, it spun right out of the spindle, fully intact.

How would it spin right out? Its my front passenger side, now will it be okay to drive with only 4 lugs? Im going to get my shop to put one in but its pretty tempting to take her for a good burn since I just insured it today.

Thanks

With only 4 out of the 5 studs i would think you will be ok just driving it only when neccesary. Don't go crazy around the turns or anything. I am sure if you wanted to go do a burnout you would be just fine. But be careful when torquing the other Lug nuts and not to over torque them.

you can even run it with 3 lug nuts and still be just fine.

foxes ran with 4 for years. you'll be fine. let er rip

I still say be a little cautious. Our wheel hub was designed with 5 studs not 4 so the pressure will be different on it.

yea excatly. I guess they were just tightened up too much, I need a torque wrench lol. I resisted, going to get it fixed tomorrow hopefully.

I drove one of my Mustangs for years with four out of five studs in place. You'll be fine.

ARP Studs FTW

The Moroso studs are a little shorter than the ARP studs and don't stick out as much. Either are good though.
