I had a wheel stud snap today while I was driving home. Should I replace all 4 of them or just the broken one. It was on the rear passenger. |

For the sake of time, tap out the broken one and replace it. If the others ain't broke, don't fix. They don't cost much though. The problem I ran into is when you're inserting a new stud and it won't tap in because the lip is a little fatter than the hole. I just took my grinder and zipped it down a bit and it fits fine. |

You can do one at a time. But check the other 3, look for pulled threads and weak points on the shaft. You may want to do all 4 just as a CYA measure. |

I feel like if they're all the same age, and one broke, I'd go ahead and replace them all. They're like $2 each or so. |

No need to replace the ones that aren't damaged. Make sure they're not cracked, or have damaged threads though. |
