I had front row seats for that one (was just about to pull into the water box).
Were all the studs broken or? Someone had said that the wheel was off of the studs and was independent...I would have thought the car would have drove left if that was the case.

Yup, all the studs sheered off. Felt just like a broken axle (been there, done that).
And thanks Shaun for the pic...that was soooo nice of you. We'll line them up again soon...

Did you use the right lug nuts? Didn't use acorns on shank style or vice versa did you? [ April 21, 2009, 01:44 AM: Message edited by: cummins ]

Funny.
Yes, the correct Weld shank-style lugs have been on there since 2005.

I was the second person that got to the car once it stopped and the first to notice lugs sitting on the ground in a line leading twards the car. Each had a stud running all the way through them!
