Wheel studs keep breaking?

Hello,

Usually wheel studs will only break off while driving if you have a loose wheel on your car. The loose wheel might be due to over-torquing or under-torquing the lug nuts when the wheel was installed.

Are you using original or aftermarket rims on your vehicle?
Non original rims may have a problem with the center spigot (center part of rim) not being of the correct diameter to fit the wheel hub correctly, see image 1 below
This usually can be rectified by fitting spigot rings of the correct diameter, see image 2+3+4

A good article:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response. I have original rims on my car. I also thought it was the rims, but I switched tires from drivers' side to passenger and they still snapped off. Is it possible that an bad wheel hub can lead to this?

Hello,

Do the wheel studs only snap off on one wheel?
If so, I would next check the diameter of the wheel hub center and compare with other side.
See image below
Check that the dimensions are the same.

If you need to replace the wheel hub below is a good video:

Hey so yes, they only snap on the one side which is the passenger side of the car. The studs only last two weeks .

Hello,

I would suggest to possibly looking at fitting in a new wheel hub.
Like that you know that all dimensions are what they should be.
After the fitment take the vehicle for wheel alignment.
