So about a week ago i was drivin my car can all of a sudden it started to shake alot as i slowed down.
i got out of my car didnt see any thing. So on my way home it kept shakin
and then all of a sudden my front passenger tire popped out of my car
i raised the car, and it had 3 broken wheel studs. and the 4th one was ruin
So i replaced them and everything was GOOD

until yesterday it started doin it again, and on the same tire
i bet if i were to drive the car for like 10 more mins the tire wheel pop out again???

SO MY question is this:
WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM????

I WAS GUESSING ITS MY COILOVERS CUZ ITS TOO DROPPED IT BOUNCES ALOT. OR CAN IT BE STEER NKUCKLE, COULD IT BE MY HUB

PLEASE HELP ME OUT

when the wheel is on the car, does it move easily? maybe the wheel bearing is so bad its overheating the studs and leading them to break?

Yeah I was thinking something like that as well..
or maybe the wheel is jarring too much from a bad bearing that lugs come loose?
I had something like that happen to my eclipse.. was driving on the interstate and i heard something and felt something and I was like wth..
pulled over into a business.. sure enough lugs were loose.
I don't really know what else it could be though.. check your bearings.

make sure you are using the right style of lugnuts for your wheels too.

well yesterday i had a mechanic check it out
and well he told me that the holes on the hub, that hold the studs got to big
and that made the wheel studs looose

IM GUESSIN THATS THE PROBLEM NOW BECAUSE I TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND I SAW THE DIFFERENCE.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

That is probably the problem.
If the holes are getting too big for the studs to fit securely then you will probably need a new hub.. or some sort of adapter/washers.. but I would suggest the new hub.
