Lug Nut Studs?
 

Where can I buy new Lug Nut Studs?

Also.. does Honda make 1 of the studs shorter than the other 3? If so.. could i buy all 4 replacement ones to match the longer ones? My wheels don't allow 1 lugnut to be put on.. the stud isn't long enough..

Checked AutoZone and saw 2 options, 34mm and 36mm in length.. Would it be ok to use all 36mm?

RE: Lug Nut Studs?
 

36mm should be fine providing that your lug nuts can go to that depth, if you've got a closed end lug nut that won't torque down all the way to the rim then it won't work but if you've got an open ended lug nut then 36mm should be fine (as long as the don't stick out of course)

the 36s now don't stick beyond my lugnuts, they are open-ended too..

why im asking, last night i hit a pothole.. and afterwards i was scared i blew a tire.. luckily i didnt, but wheel was wobbling.. came home, 2 lug nuts seemed loose.. tightened, drove up and down my street.. no wobble. next morning, didn't even drive a mile and the wobble was back.

parked it.. earlier i went to take off the wheel, 2 nuts came off easily.. while one was stuck. finally got it off, but it's stripped BAD. could the pothole have stripped the stud? couldn't the nut strip outwards, to where you tighten it and think it's fine.. then it pops out easy again? thanks man!

a pothole could stip a lug if it tweaked it just right... you'd be dang lucky if it just stripped it and didn't bend the rim, I'd get that tire balanced just to make sure then get the lugs and studs and I'm sure it will be fine

RE: Lug Nut Studs?
 

if it bent my rim, would you be meaning a noticeable bend/curb mark area? i can't see anything wrong with it..

or were you referring to it being something I can't see? either way.. balancing could fix that and my wheels wouldnt be useless right? thanks.

oh also, it was more of an edge that a pothole, not really like slamming into a hole, but more of running off the road in a way

RE: Lug Nut Studs?
 

if you have them balance it and it's bent it will show up, if it's not bent you're fine. chances are though if you hit it fairly head on your tire was protection enough to keep from bending it

replaced all 4 studs today.. one was stripped BAD. and getting the hub off the rotor was a***DITCH**.. took 2 hours, stepdad and neighbor helping.. prybars/pb blaster/a puller.. it sucked. it was rusted on sooo bad. lol.

RE: Lug Nut Studs?
 

if it was on the front you shouldnt have has to pull the rotors off to get to the studs, I have a 92 accord and had to replace front studs a year ago, all i needed was a big hammer, and an impact gun.

RE: Lug Nut Studs?
 

i didnt have to remove the rotor, but the hub was stuck.. so it did take big hammers/prybars, and alot of help.. lol.
