Broken Lug Nut Question

Cmike2780 · 09-15-2012, 06:13 PM

Is it the wheel locking lugs? They installed the ones meant for the 350z when I bought the car. Three of them shattered/split and were pretty much stuck. There's an actual TSB for it if you do a search. If you can figure out how to get the broken lug nut out, it's a pretty inexpensive part and I would just pay for the $5. The stud is a bit tricky. Its also and inexpensive part, but you need to take the rotor off to replace it...along with the caliper, etc...You might be able to get it covered if you complain enough, but it's a whole lot of trouble for something silly like a new lug nut.

Ya, it was actually the stud. I had them replace it and took off the labor charge.
