Our skilled team of professionals is adept at diagnosing and resolving wheel stud issues, providing peace of mind on every journey.

Importance of Wheel Studs

Wheel studs are the foundation upon which your vehicle rests. They bear the weight of the car and the strain of motion, distributing these forces evenly across the wheel. High-quality, well-maintained wheel studs enable your vehicle to maintain traction, providing stability and control. The correct operation of these components directly influences your car's handling characteristics, especially in emergency manoeuvres or rough road conditions.

Detecting Wheel Stud Problems

Recognising the symptoms of failing wheel studs early can prevent expensive damage and potential hazards. Wheel wobble, peculiar noises from the wheels, and visible wheel stud damage are common signs of a problem. If the lug nuts attached to the wheel studs loosen, the wobble could become apparent, especially at high speeds. Noises might manifest as clicking, clanking, or other out-of-the-ordinary sounds from the wheel area. In some instances, you might see visible signs of damage, such as stripped threads, fractures, or complete breaks in the wheel studs.

Our Wheel Stud Replacement Process

Our wheel stud replacement service begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We assess the condition of the wheel studs and the surrounding components to understand the severity of the issue. Our team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to inspect your vehicle, ensuring an accurate diagnosis.

We proceed to the replacement phase once the problematic wheel studs are identified. We detach the tyre and wheel hub, exposing the faulty wheel studs. These are then carefully removed using professional-grade tools, ensuring the surrounding areas are not damaged. Our skilled mechanics then install the new wheel studs, taking care to torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications.
