WE HEARD THE TIRE MAKING A NOISE SO WE STOPPED TO CHECK IT AN WHEN WE REMOVED THE PLASTIC PEICE WE DISCOVER TWO OF THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE TIRE IN PLACE HAD BROK OFF & WERE JUST LYING LOSE IN THERE. CAN WE REPLACE JUST THE BOLTS OR WILL THE WHOLE PEICE NEED TOBE REPLACED??

Hi:
If the stud has broken, replace both. You will need to remove the wheel, caliper and rotor to remove the broken stud and replace it.

Let me know if you have questions.
