Ok, I need some fast opinions.. I am breaking studs from my front drivers side tire. They are breaking in rotation and I have lost 3 of the 6.
I have called a wrecker to cone get it and take to the dealership to get checked out.
Ok here's the story....
Bought the truck 2 months ago today... 08 f150 fx4 56040 miles 6" lift 325/60r20...
After 11 days of ownership I took the truck in to have the driver side front Hub assemble replaced..back and forth to Florida a few times and I noticed a lugnut missing last Thursday. Woke up went to the dealership to have them look at it.. ( thought they broke it when they replaced the hub) they said come back tomorrow and we will take care of it.. Woke up and started heading that way. Hit the brakes at a light and I heard a loud pop!!! Pulled into a parking lot and yep 1 more stud gone.. Turned around and headed home very easy.. Got almost home and I noticed another stud basically just fall out.. No pop this time.. Reduced speed even more and limped home.. Couldn't reach the dealership so I'm having it taken to another dealership that's closer this morning..
Any ideas on what would cause this and do you think it's a warranty issue??

 

its the same hub the dealer serviced?

Make them repair it... they must have tightened them wrong (too tight on one side) or left something under the wheel that is causing bad loading.

 

update...
they had it all day (new dealership) didnt know what was causing it..replaced all 6 studs..not usually a warranty issue but they did it anyways..cost me $20.00 for new lugnuts (only because i was tired of waiting) that and i wanted locking lugnuts..
all in all i was very pleased how they handled the situation...

Weird for sure.

 

That is the weirdest thing I ever hear of. I will be interesting to hear what the issue is.

 

noone knows....

 

Only thing that crosses my mind is maybe a set of wheels were installed that were the wrong bolt pattern. Of course, they would have to be extremely close to your bolt pattern and I can't think of one that is.

 

moto metal 958's in 20" wrapped with 325/60r20 nitto at's
they came from the dealership in 2008 with these rims installed along with the 6" lift
2 years later and 56,000 miles i have this issue....wierd for sure..im keeping a very close eye on the lugnuts as to if they are loosening up over time by checking them every few hundred miles..

 

How did they replace the studs?

I had the same issue on my 03, was the hub ford or aftermarket ?
