Front passenger wheel fell off 2008 Dodge Avenger
My front passenger wheel fell of while driving. The bolts all broke off. It was clean break that sheered right off. Insurance will pay for it, but now a little nervous. Has anyone else had this kind of problem on their 2008 AWD Avenger?
Did anyone take any pics? I'd like to see that one.
BTW, no, haven't seen that one yet. If you're nervous, and rightly so, have them replace ALL of the lugs studs and lugnuts. Make sure they torque them correctly.

Biggest problem that causes bolts to break off is when tires are changed at a shop they use an airwrench to put the nuts on. If the shop does not install the nuts "with a torque wrench only" change to a shop that does. An airgun can weeken and snap lug nuts quite easily. I used to do this at an autowreckers many years ago. I was sometimes faster to snap them off than to spin them off.
