Sheared off all 6 Wheel Studs Last Night…not happy

What is the other side like?

Good call cuppa. I would be checking the rest as well.

Agree they were over tightened but just throwing ideas out there .
I'd like to see the part where it sheared that will tell a story for sure.

@cuppa good point what are LHS studs like, seeing all being equal

I just bought a full set to replace the LHS but will pull them tomorrow.

Couple of pics of the studs a bit closer up.





I tend to think they were over-tightened, and if that is the case, it is entirely my fault. I tightened the nuts by hand with a normal wheel brace. This morning, I checked the nuts on the rest of the vehicle and they were all fine. Not hard to get off, but not loose either. Nice and firm

Just replace them with left hand thread Toyota on the passenger side, problem solved.
Cheers, the ferret

Over tightened with a normal wheel brace. Did you have weeties for brekky?

[FNQGU]

perhaps worn out studs then….? LOL. I'm still not convinced it was over-tightening, but why else would all six go at once? I change my wheels fairly regularly between the alloys as seen, for general town driving, and a set of steelies with MT's on them for proper bush trips. I don't have a rattle gun, just the wheel brace.

It also depends on what was done before you got the vehicle as well.

Gotcha! Might replace studs all around then. Got to have confidence in the vehicle when away from the bitumen for good periods of time.

Do you use the same nuts for the 2 sets of wheels? I know the allied nuts that are supplied with their wheels have quite a deep taper.

While we are talking studs'n' nuts, What brand of replacements would you trust, Matt?
