Hey guys, I'm brand new to the forum. I've had my JK for about a year now. Yesterday, as I was taking my wheels off to install my Teraflex Budget Boost kit, I noticed that one of the lug nuts was completely cross-threaded on the lug. The last person to touch the wheels was the shop that put them on, but that was a while ago. I knew that the only thing I could do was muscle the lug nut off, which resulted in the lug itself snapping. After I installed the kit, I drove to Auto Zone to get a replacement lug. They told me that it was a special order part and that they couldn't get one. Has anyone had this issue? Anyone know where I can get the right lug? And is it a hard fix? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

On a brighter note, so far the Teraflex BB is great! Looks good and feels good. I bought Skyjacker shocks and those feel nice so far. I need to get some 35's, I'm running 33's for now.

 

they are not hard to change at all, but Echo is right. Dealer only. It's a common issue. Welcome!

 

I ordered mine online somewhere. Here is a fix Wheel Stud Replacement.

 

Thanks Echo! I'll give the local dealership a call and see what they can do to get me the part.


Here she is from the front. I'll get more pictures later, been too busy driving it!

 

Thanks so much Robar! I'll start looking around online. Those pictures will definitely come in handy!
