So im driving home form school today and i hit a pot hole at about 65ish on a ******* parkway...great job keeping the ******* roads safe...but neways my car begins making a ridiculous noise and when i finally come home i notice that i have a lug nut missing and all the other 4 are loose...then i noticed the wheel stud that the missing lug not screws on to is no longer there either......any idea how much this is gonna run...or maybe its covered under warrenty??

 

Call the city, they "should" pay for it

and no swearing in thread titles

 

Well first off make a complaint to the city take pictures of the pot hole and your car and they might give you what it costs to fix your car. Secondly your might need a new hub if not just studs to replace the old ones

 

my bad about the cursing....i was just so frustrated...and its a decent deal away and idk if i would be able to pull that off....im actually surprised i made it home alive

 

If you hit a hole hard enough to bend a lug and loosen your lug nuts, you better check out the rest of the front end and get it aligned. Tires aint cheap.

 

What he said x infinity!

 

It's a cheap fix if you do it yourself, mad money if you bring it to the dealer. Dealer prob wont cover under warranty cuz of the pothole they will say wear and tear.

As for getting the city to pay for it.... good luck. I tried this before and they shot me down... both in RI and in NY. It's a pain in the ass process that took 5 months for them to deny me.

 

When I went to NYC for vacation in Sept I blew both front struts on my Saturn and they were KYB GR-2 with Eibach Pros with 17s because of the bad roads in Union New Jersey. I was staying in Newark and had to pay a whopping $700 for the Saturn dealer to put back factory struts cause the KYB's would take too long to arrive and I had like a day left on my hotel.
