so recently i had a bad wheel bearing. So i had it replaced.

When i went to pickup my car the dude told me my studs were loose and wobbly and falling out so he replaced them with new ones.

He indeed replaced them with new ones, but recently when i took off my tire i noticed the lug nunts didint wanna come off and when they did and i got the tire off the studs were a little loose, i culd turn them by hand to a certin degree but didint seem like they were going anywhere.

but the lug nuts and rim bolted right back on and tight and everythings secure, so i dunnop wether to stress over this n fix it or if its okay ?

anybody know ?

 

some people have had that issue when replacing them.I have heard that they tack weld them in so they dont come loose and they are still pretty easy to remove if needed.One small tack weld should do the trick.

 

alright, but until then their fine to ride on right?

and to tack weld them, do i need to take off the hub? or are they just behind the rotor, this is a front end of a civic 96.

 

Umm - NO. Do NOT weld your god damn wheel stud to your hub.



It sounds like he put the wrong diameter and thread pitch into your hub. That or he tried replacing them with seperating the bearing(half-assed). Either way, replace the ones he worked on. Do it right, seperate the bearing from the hub....IF the hub is still good.
