Description of the problem | My daughter owns a 2001 olds silhouette, this past weekend, her front wheel became loose causing the wheel secure points to become oval. Upon investigation, found that the wheel studs show metal fatigue and one on each side of the vehicles front were broken off even with the front brake caliper. I asked around to a few mechanics they stated this was unusual. The vehicle now has 4 studs on each of the front wheels securing them to the drive line instead of the required five. Has there been any other occurrences similar to this? |
