I broke my wheel studs on my 2 front tires...and i replaced them yesterday and its making a loud A$$ nosie like when u forget to tighten the lugnuts...but i doubled checked it and everything...has this happened to anyone...thnx

 

so I'm assuming there was hammering and banging involved in the installation of these studs, versus doing it the right way with a press......

If so, I believe you ruined your wheel bearing

 

Yes, check for play in the bearing.

I hammered all of my studs out on all 4 wheels and had no problems, but you might not have been so lucky...

Yep I did the hammer method once, ruined the bearing.

 

Jack the front end up, grab the tire on the top and bottom of the tire and see if you can "wiggle" the tire. If you can, the wheel bearings are hosed.
