So far 3 of my aftermarket lug nuts have seized up to my wheel studs causing me to have 3 wheel studs replaced. The newest one was today at a dealership. They were the last ones to work on my car 2 weeks ago any there telling me the lug siezed up that quick? I'm trying to get them to do it under warranty but because it's not an OEM lug nut they don't want to do it. Wheel studs are 8$ but the labour isn't cheap

 

labour? don't they just screw in? and why aftermarket lugs?

 

NO they do not just screw in, you have to take the brake caliper off, and then to some hammering to get the old ones out and the new ones in

 

aftermarket wheels. There only 2.5 x 12 lugs which is what the car uses

 

They shouldn't seize up that quick, they were probably overtightened. As for labour its not usually a fun job, hopefully they don't hack up the bearing when they do it...

 

well i paid the labour but they didn't charge me for the stud because I have two sitting at home from the last time I had a couple break
