Hi guys,
This morning when I was about to go to work I noticed that 2 lugs were missing from my wheel!!
When I unscrewed the rest of them, another one broke off....needless to say car is undriveable right now
What am I supposed to do with this thing now, someone please help, becouse Im clueless here , I really need the car to be running as soon as possible, do I need to replace the whole thing or is there another way....
Here are some pics taken with camera phone:





Thanks everyone.......

 

Your going to need the studs replaced. If you are not mechanically inclined, or tool-less I wouldn't reccomend trying it on your own.

The studs are pressed into the Hub, which is pressed into a bearing in the knuckle. You would have to remove the caliper, rotor, and remove the hub from the bearing to replace the studs. Replacing the wheel bearing at the same time would also be reccomended.

 

Check this thread out for a little info....https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthre...hreadid=141175

Is it possible you had the wheels mixed up (back to front OR front to back)

 

Thanks for a quick response everyone

How much would everything cost? and where should I get all the parts that I need(honda dealership? or would that be too expensive?)

 

may I suggest buying a torque wrench so that doesn't happen in the future

 

Call a Honda dealer and get them there, they are not that expensive so don't waste time shopping around.

Changing title to make it more descriptive. (We've had hundreds of threads entitled "Help" of one kind or another.)

 

I had the same thing happen to me to and still can't come up with an answer to why it happned. Here is a link to the thread that gives the details...

what year is the car?

I vaguely remember that Honda had a wheel problem just before I bought mine in July 2001. My colleague with a march 01 had a recall just before I got mine...something to do with wheels/bolts. Can't be more specific because it was in Japanese...

 

That's the first I've heard of this problem ...

My MY 2000 car never had issues with the studs or lug nuts, butr I have very careful to keep them clean and VERY LIGHTLY lubricated with anti-sieze. I know it's against conventional wisdom to lubricate the studs, but there are high rates of corrosion around here (high temps and salt air).

As mentioned above by previous posters, make sure that you didn't have the front and rear rims mixed up, and keep the lug nuts torqued properly. The torque setting is much lower than some some mechanics might think (85 lb-ft) and if air guns are used improperly, they can overtorque the nuts easily.
