Default Lug studs snapped off

i was driving around and noticed a high pitched squell whenever i made a left turn and i came to the consclusion it was the rotor not being on correctly, if that was the problem i dont know it was coming from the front driver side wheel and the next problem is the front passenger wheel and went to put on new wheels after taking off old ones i noticed one of the threads were screwed up so i didnt force the lug nut on, and road around with three for the time till i replaced the lug stud then driving down the road for maybe 8 miles i heard a loud clicking. i pulled over got out and a the lug that wasnt threaded right snapped off, so i figured i gotta get this fixed asap, i the proceeded to drive to get a lug stud and noticed an even louded clicking the other lug stud snapped off and one of the lug nuts became so loose it was letting the tire move around even more.

and this is a eg coupe EX

most likely over torquing or cross threading

What would cause this? Letting a dumbass touch your car.

There are many things that will cuase this. More then likely someone has been over torqueing them for a while, and they finaly gave up.

It's a easy job, just replace them.

Sounds like you need a torque wrrench just for putting your wheels on... over tightening the lug is more than likely the culprit.
