It's a 2006 Ford Explorer XLT. We had the truck since 2006, in 2011 we had 22" rims put on. About a year in some months later all my rear studs except 1 broke off on the passenger side. We had them replaced, 3 weeks later 3/5 studs broke off the driver side in the front. I had them replaced except 1. The mechanic used a tool to install the studs on the truck. 1month later the same wheel has 3 broken studs. Why does this keep occurring? What should I do?
The mechanic is very experienced and did the second replacement not the first. He also used a torque wrench, unlike the first mechanics. Also I do hit corners hard at times and where I live the terrain is pretty awful. Lots of potholes, like I often check tire pressure when I hit potholes to ensure. So based on all your answers it could be a number of things. I think I'll remove the rims for awhile and put those factory rims back on.
