Hey all. I hammered in some broken wheel studs not knowing that I could damage the car and now it has a very slight shake when accelerating over 70mph. Any ideas of what to check?

    Wheel studs should be installed by simply tightening the lug nut. Pounding on them can damage wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, shackles… pretty much anything related to steering geometry.

    You hammered new wheel studs in ? Because you should have used a tool that has a bearing on it and tighten the stud with a lug nut. They sell it on Amazon.
