5 Stud broke to make a 4 stud

[CroatianR33]

Hey fellas. When one of the long screws coming off the car that go through and hold the wheels onto the car break, what are the options. I'm guessing I would need a new wheel hub or whatever its called. does anyone know the exact name of what i need or how much the part and labour would cost??

Any help greatly appreciated.

You could try welding it back on, but it wont be as strong as a new hub.

Especially if you are churning out alot of power, you dont want the stud breaking again when doing high speed or fast cornering

Call tempy tires (excuse the spelling) and order a new stud!! They can also fit it for you

The stuff will cost $5 and fitting will be about $80 or so

jeez, hope this advice doesnt come from your mechanic... seems stupid giving advice when you have no idea.

I would just recommend like GunMetalR33 to replace the stud. It i'll only cost you $5 + fitting (any mechanic can do it).

If 1 stud broke off, then the hub/other studs might be faulty so you might aswell replace the whole hub at once. When you have to pay $80 to get new stuf fitted it starts to get expensive if another stud decides to say goodbye

Remove the hub yourself and knock the broken one out with a hammer, then bang a new one in place!

Going only by going by the way you are writing and your knowledge of cars, I would suggest taking your car to a mechanic.

They are called wheel studs and they are relatively cheap to replace. If one has broken I would replace all 5 as they have probably all been overstressed .....usually from the wheelnuts being overtightened with a rattlegun.

OK well thanx for the replies. I thought it was more complicatd than that. It's actually my sisters car which she only bought a couple of days ago. I am gonna get a mechanic I know to do it for me.
