Broken Lug Nuts
My mechanic and I are at our wits end. I have replaced the passenger front wheel hub assembly 4 times over the last 5 months because the studs keep snapping. My car is a 2007 Malibu. You have to replace the whole assembly for it is too tight to press the snapped studs out and replace. Help!!!!

hard to say without seeing it. aftermarket rims?
if it is happening on the same wheel each time...inspect the rim stud holes for out of round wear....if none, move that rim to the other side and see if the stud breaking follows the rim.
