Dealing with a nightmare situation here.
about 3 weeks ago a wheel stud was discovered to be “cross threaded” when I went for tire rotation. It was the first time I went for a rotation since I did a swap back in October so I’m sure the shop did the cross thread.
A day after I discovered the cross threaded wheel stud, the stud actually got loose and got stuck in my parking brake assembly! Could have been real bad. Anyways I got the stud out and replaced it.
Yesterday I went to fix the parking brake spring which was damaged with the broken wheel stud and lo and behold TWO more studs are broken and just spinning!
The axle shaft assembly is the DANA SPICER JL 44 rear passenger side. I contacted them with a warranty claim. 3 failed studs in 3 weeks on a jeep that has less than 10k miles on Said axle assembly. Wheeled no more than 3 times. Only rotated tires once.
what the hell is going on here?
