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.
