Yeah you oughtta be alright...I'd rather do it myself to know if any of the stud bores wallowed, but likely not.Sorry to hear this. I was very close to this situation last week as well, even though with the rear passenger wheel.
Dont mean to hijack the thread, but I am hoping the questions are relevant.
Questions for experts: DT is replacing the wheel and they have said they have a local shop they work with to replace the studs. Is replacing the studs a good way to handle this? Should I insist that this be done at a dealership? Anything else to look out for?
Once you get it back remove that wheel, reinstall and retorque to ~130. If the studs don't spin and it drives ok, move on to more important things like being a good subordinate citizen panicking about viruses that have a tenth-of-a-percent chance of hurting you.
In fact, according to CNN you really should just run those studs as they are..... honestly man they just don't look THAT bad but COVID IS that bad, so you really should prioritize your panic. Jeesh, such irresponsible citizens on this forum...
If this were a front I'd insist on a complete new wb assy, but given that your situation is a rear axle I think just replacing studs is reasonable
