Brittney Leis Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 My husband was driving home, when the wheel came off the car. Husband is safe thank God. However when he found the wheel, some of the spokes were broken. Any ideas? We haven't had any work done on the car recently. I'm not car savvy, but I'm trying to help do research. This car has given us nothing but issues since purchasing and I hoped someone could give some ideas on the situation to help alleviate my husband's stress.

dhh3 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Was the center of the wheel still bolted on the hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty256 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 hit a pot hole hard enough to break the rim ? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenze Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) I think she is talking about the wheel studs Anyways take a pic and post it so we can be sure Edited June 12, 2016 by silenze dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Don't know if she's talking about wheel studs or wheel spokes. At any rate, it is not a common issue and it had to have hit an object (curb, pothole, etc) pretty severely to break either one of those things. Need more info besides "this car has given us nothing but issues". dhh3 and rolly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Over torquing the lug nuts might cause the aluminum wheel to fracture around the stud holes. Some tire jocks go way overboard with their air guns. rolly and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neto Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Either they have an extra car, or she got her spokes figured out. Here & gone. OhareFred, 2late4u, jkeaton and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
