Default loose wheel stud??

For the past week or so, when I applied my brakes after going from reverse to forward I have noticed a "Clunk" coming from my right front wheel area. At first I thought it was associated with the brakes... maybe a loose brake pad or something. Then, while I was changing from my winter wheels back to my stock wheels I noticed that when I grabbed the wheel studs and rotated the rotor, one or two of the wheel studs seemed slightly loose. When I put the stock wheel back on and torqued appropriately, I don't hear the "clunk" anymore. Did I fix the problem or do I need to get this looked at professionally?

Thanks,

Kevin

Sounds alot like what happened to me a month ago, but it was the stealership that left it loose and told me it was normal. Id have the studs examined to make sure they are not stripped or damaged at all, or atleast thats what a bud who is a mechanic told me. Even though they are pretty strong, its better to be safe than sorry. But other than that you should be ok because i have had no problems since.
