Hey,

As with the magnas, the 380 wheel hub have the 'bolts' (proper name?) attached to them for the wheel to go onto.

While lowering my car on the weekend, I was 'cracking' the wheels nuts on my front left wheels (loosening before I jacked it up) and one didn't feel quite right. The wheel nut came off with 1.5 turns. I looked at the nut and the inside was wrecked (threaded). I got the wheel off and the 'bolt' on the wheel hub appears to have previous damage as well. Basically the threads are all fine, up until the last 2-4 where it has been threaded.

My questions:
- is it possible to get this fixed? Or would I need a new hub? Approximate costs, etc.
- I am now driving cautiously with four wheels nuts. Is this safe?

The car is booked in for a service with Mal Friday week. Am I safe to wait until then or do I need to get this sorted out now?
I don't want to make anything worse and have to pay more.


Cheers.

Mate, I have plenty of wheel nuts here and can also run a die over the stud if the damage is not too bad, the studs can also be changed

You should be ok to drive, just make sure that all of the other nuts are properly torqued as I would have shown you in the past lol

Thanks Mal. I forgot to ask you about it when I called yesterday.
I made sure all the nuts where secure, I'll check it periodically until I come in.
Cheers.
