STUDS KEEP BREAKING ON THE FRONT WHEELS. IN NOVEMBER 2002 RIGHT FRONT STUDS "FELL OFF" AS A MECHANIC WAS TAKING THE TIRES OFF AS PART A MAINTENANCE INSPECTION. ITEMS REPLACED. IN MARCH 2002, I WAS REPLACING THE CALIPERS AND AS I PLACED THE LUG WRENCH "MANUAL TYPE" ON THE LUG NUTS TWO FELL OFF FROM THE FRONT RIGHT AND ONE FROM THE FRONT LEFT. I AM NOT SURE IF THE TWO FRONT RIGHT WERE THE SAME ONES THAT WERE REPLACED IN NOV 2002. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE BROKEN STUDS REPLACED. WOULD LIKE FURTHER INFORMATION IF AVAILABLE AS IT CONCERNS ME THAT THEY MAY POP WHILE DRIVING AND I MAY LOOSE A TIRE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK
