i just recently replaced all 4 studs on right front wheel because 2 snapped while driving and the other 2 broke when i took the wheel off.....now the problem is the right front wheel is making a squeking noise and one of the lugs is vibrating....why is it vibrating and breaking all my studs....what causes this to happen.....tia

 

Are these factory wheels?

 

yes, 96 vtec

 

why is this in the prelude forum? did you swap in an h22 or something? otherwise ask someone in the civic forum. maybe this is something that happens with that model that they have figured out.

 

I have a 96 prelude i'm on my buddies computer, can you give me any insight on the problem

 

Are you using the stock lugnuts? And are you torqueing them to spec with a torque wrench?

If you answered "yes" to both of these, I would say it's sounding like a bad wheel bearing.

On factory wheels I counting on torque specs. If your not using a torque wrench then you are possibly over torqueing the lugs. I'll do some checking tomorrow with one of my boys and see if it is common on your particular car.

 

I thought it was the berrings i'll check that out thanks for the advice

 

bearing, possibly a bent axle causing too much vibration.

i'd say the bearing though.

 

Are the lug hole on the wheel possibly worn from driving with loose lugnutz?
