Keep breaking wheel studs...

[NoTicket]

I wasn't sure if they would charge you to look at it. Just a thought.

I wonder if the axle on that side is very slightly bent?

I'd look there as well, has to be a common part that has not been changed IMO.

Say it aint so!!!!!!! Maybe this is why i have a slight vibration. LMAO if it is. I will punch myself.

........shit. I guess I might check that as well.

where you two been??

Apparently under a rock?

Driving on stockers lol.

I looked at my ds and its missing a weight so I'm thinking this may be a culprit.

 

[fdjizm]

DS out of balance causing just one wheel to break studs? I don't know how that would work.

 

[VTXFrank]

I'm going with the ever so slightly bent axle theory myself, which is what immediately popped into mind when I read your first post.

A missing weight on the DS will cause vibrations and such, but would very likely eat your pinion gear and/or spacer(s) before causing a stud failure even one time. Much less multiple times.

My theory is that it only does it when I loose traction causing the wheel to hop in a different way then axle slapping. Ive already got a stock GT500 DS so I'll swap that and see.

Wouldn't a bent axle cause my axle bearing to leak?

Like I said its done it on 3 different wheels sets, I'm going to assume the wheels are fine..

Its got 40k miles and has a nitrous plate on it still. Im not paying dealership prices... it'd be cheaper to replace my axles then for them to look at it....

Then its your axle. At your power level you shouldnt be damaging ARP studs, let alone the OEM ones. I bet the vibration you are feeling is the bent axle.

Have someone drive behind you and look at your driver rear to see any evidence of a bent axle.

An out of balance driveshaft would cause a vibration, but why would it cause you to break wheel studs on only the driver rear? That makes no sense.

 

[sixohtofiveoh]

My theory around that is that it has to do with the LSD.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Do you still have the brake retaining clips on 1-2 of the studs? The stock wheels have a recess to account for them but if you use aftermarket wheels those clips must be removed.

Say it aint so!!!!!!! Maybe this is why i have a slight vibration. LMAO if it is. I will punch myself.

I'd look there as well, has to be a common part that has not been changed IMO.







where you two been??

I had to punch myself today. Thanks Brian.

James, glad to help. And I won't tell anyone if you don't.

Do it once more for good measure

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

LOL i should go punch the guys at Discount Tire, they put the wheels on.

 

[fdjizm]

So it was the clip? damn son lol

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Im not sure what caused the vibration, but all 4 corners still had the clips. If the vibration is gone i will be one happy mofo. Ive had it since i put these wheels on. lol

 

[RazorbackMustang]

I'm waiting patiently to hear the results so if I need to pull mine and check.

 

[sixohtofiveoh]

I know I dont have mine.

 

[shawnxrox]

Maybe the axle is bent on the side you are breaking them on?

 

[s8v4o]

The axle is more than likely bent from wheel hop. Are you running factory lower control arms?
