How yesterday ended.

3 snapped wheel studs, 1 on rear rhs and 2 of rear lhs, so remaining 3 LHS wheel nuts (2 nuts and 1 lock nut) kept coming undone so tow trucked it home, just need to replace em tomorrow.

care to explain how it occurred?
to much torque through to the wheels?
old items that were starting to fail?

would assume its a combination of huge amounts of heat, old ass studs and stress from doing burnouts, skids and high speeds round calder for a few hours

Don't matter in the end, all i ended up with was a few snapped studs and a tow bill home which wasn't bad, could've been alot worse.
