Wheels and tires are responsible for safely transporting you and your vehicle.

Because the wheels and tires literally carry a heavy burden, it is important to make sure each component is in the best shape possible. A common safety concerns is stripped wheel studs. La Grange area Toyota service warns drivers about stripped wheel studs.
What are Wheel Studs?
When you put a tire on your vehicle, you mount it to the threaded fasteners that stick out from the hub. After you put the tire on, your thread the lug nuts over the wheel studs.
Dangers of Stripped Studs
If you over tighten a lug nut or try to remove a lug nut, you can either break the stud or strip it. If the wheel stud is compromised, it poses a serious safety risk. It may be okay to drive on four good wheel studs, but not three. If you do decide to drive with only four good studs, make sure you are headed to the shop to have the other one replaced. If the wheel stud is stripped or broken, the wheel will not be balanced or provide the vehicle with the proper amount of support. When one is compromised, the additional wheel studs have to compensate for the missing or damaged studs, which adds extra stress to the good studs.
Replacement is Easy
Replacing a wheel stud is relatively cheap and easy to do. When the stud is being replaced, the process will include the following steps:
- Removing the brake and caliper
- Removal of the old wheel studs
- Insert new stud through hole from the backside of the hub
- Bolts screwed on to seat the stud
- Stud is tightened with an impact wrench
- Rotor and caliper will be reinstalled

When you are researching vehicle specifications, reading your owner’s manual, or shopping for a trailer hitch, you will come across many different ratings and capacities. One of the most common and important measurements is the tongue weight, but what does it mean? La Grange area Toyota and Scion service explains tongue weight.
What is a Tongue?
If you have a car, truck, minivan, or SUV, you will need to know your vehicle’s tongue weight if you plan to do any towing with the vehicle, despite the size of the load you are pulling. . The trailer tongue is the extension at the front of a trailer that connects to the ball on the towing vehicle. The coupler is at the very end of the tongue; it is the rounded connection that sits on the tow ball.
What is Tongue Weight?
Now that you know what the tongue is, you can better understand the weight. The tongue weight is the downward force the trailer coupler exerts on the hitch ball. If the tongue weight is too light, the trailer will sway when it is on the road. If the tongue weight is too heavy, steering, braking and handling are reduced. This is why it is very important to balance your cargo: 60% of the weight in front of the trailer’s front axle and 40% in the back. Never exceed your hitch’s tongue weight.
How do I Determine My Tongue Capacity?
There are a few strategies to help you determine the tongue weight. Remember this rule of thumb: tongue weight should be between 9% and 15% of the vehicle’s gross trailer weight. The trailer weight can be found in the owner’s manual. Use the following strategies to calculate trailer weight:
- Tongue weight scale
Place a tongue weight scale underneath the scale when the trailer is attached and loaded.
- Bathroom scale
You can weight smaller trailers with a bathroom scale. Level the trailer and the scale. Place the coupler on the loaded trailer on the bathroom scale.
- Commercial scale
If you are doing some heavy duty towing, a commercial scale will be more beneficial. First, weigh the vehicle with the tongue weight. Then, weigh the vehicle without the tongue weight. To determine the tongue weight, subtract the vehicle-only weight from the truck-and-trailer weight.
