Okay I was driving my solara today and all of the sudden my steering wheels started to shake and then boom I heard a loud bang I came out and I see my front passenger wheel came off I have no idea what happened all the lug nuts were bent I quickly took them off. I have no idea what it is called but, you know the metal part where you put the hole on the wheels were bent well one of them I grab a hammer in my trunk and started hammering making it straight. I got it straight all right but the metal part became loose and it became dislocated to to the whole piece now I am running with 4 lugs instead of 5 :cry:

Is it safe to run with the 4 lugs?? also how much do you think it will cost to fix that help

its ok if you roll with 4 out of 5 lugs.

just play it safe and don't do anything too wild. its easy to replace a stud bolt.

Just broke one wheel stud today because the freaking cheap lug nut was striped. you are fine to drive with it, the replacement of the wheel stud range from $25 to $75. I just going to pay $70 for the replacement

could this be the result of aftermarket rims fitment? i think if ur rims dont fit perfectly, this can happen. iono, someone correct me.

bro my Solara is bone stock now so I really don't think that's the problem

another question, the wheel stud is stuck inside somewhere in the passenger wheel area (rotors,brake calipers.etcc..) how safe is it to run this on 0.5 mile to the mechanic? Would something get damaged? because there is alot of clunking there
