yeah bought the car with a snapped wheel stud (perhaps former owner was the terminator?)

its on the front wheel of my fwd daily...

got no time to get the part etc.... but it does concern me a little running a front wheel with just 3 pegs.

how much to get it done at a shop??

cheers all

should be easy enough to change yourself, I'm not familiar with your particular car, just take the wheel off and have a look

studs are like less than 6$ each, so just go and grab one from repco or something

usually you just have to bash out the old one, and put the new one in, put on the lug nut and tighten it until the stud is in its spot

no point throwing money away for someone to do such a simple job!
