Two days ago I was putting new brakes on my Pathfinder and when I went to take off the LR wheel one of the lugnuts was missing, then once I got the wheel off I realized the entire stud had somehow sheared off.
I have no idea how long I was driving it with only 4 lugs but I know at one point I had all 5 because I rotated my tires last oil change (and yes, I used a torque wrench and torqued everything to spec and even checked it a couple of days later.)
Yesterday I had to take my back wheels off again and swap the rotors from left to right because I forgot that slotted rotors are directional and when I took the LR wheel back off another stud broke in half.
Should I take the cheap route and just replace the other 4 studs or is there any chance the hub might be damaged and I should just replace the entire hub?
