I have heard of breaking wheel studs yes. I have never experienced it
myself. I would say it is fairly hard to do though, as many wheel studs are
rated with an extremely high PSI rating. Also, it is not like your truck Tom
is 25 years old with 300,000 miles on it. I bet they messed it up, possibly
cross threaded it when putting your lugs nuts back on with their impact gun.
Did they make you pay for a new one? What happened with it? Did you ask to
see/have the broken stud when/if they put a new one back on?? Good Luck!
