For the 2nd time the lugs & studs on the Isuzu Rodeo have either broken/cracked or stripped when a tire roation is being preformed. Both times service representative manuelly tried to remove the lugs. And afterwards tried to tighten the lugs. As a result I have had to replace the entire rear axle - since the studs are built from the inner side outward. Now with several lugs stripped again, I fear I will have to replace the axle again.
