well just got back from dealer and had them replace 12 lugs, they felt that the others showed no sign of problems and only the 8 that snapped or had stripping on them needed replaced. I said i would do all 32 but they were sure it was not needed, at least i can go back to them if another problem occurs. Hopefully its not a wheel coming of at 80mph.
They were not sure exactly what caused it. As you mentioned before the crossthreading and then the breaking on the way off was more then likely the cause. But i still dont know since some broke taking stock wheels of they obviously did not want to hear about the manufacturer cross threading them. That was a $375 learning experience.
so much for taking it somewhere so that i dont screw things up, things still get screwed up and i pay people to do it. Well i will try to recover some from the shop that did it, i have a letter and the old lugs showing somewhat of a story. not anticipating too much money back but at least it did not break the bank
