i was trying to paint my rotars today, and everything was going great , until it was time to put the tires back on . i was making sure i screwed all of them on tight when one of the screws from where the tuner lug was suppose to go broke off. what effect will this have on my driving the car?is there anyway to repair it ?how much does it cost?

hahahaha

.

that it happened to me last week

its pretty simple to fix it. all u need is strong arms and some tools. the lug nut costs me $10AUD and the toyota nut costs me another $10AUD.

or get a mechanic to do it for ya and you'll be paying around $50AUD

EDIT: Running with 4 lug nuts instead of 5 is ok . I was using 4 studs for a week and finally 2 days ago i fixed it.

Happened to our 04 Camry. The wheel started to wobble, my mom got so scared. She was 100 miles from home and took it to the Toyota dealer (happened to be down the street) and I think they charged $60 to do it.

dont run without all nuts proper, it compounds the problem and breaks the rest because its now not balanced.
