I need to get the 4th metal stud ASAP and attach the 4th lug, because my car is acting wierd and I think that is the problem. Someone help if you can...here is what is going on. As I drive my car it now makes this annoying noise and feels like it is sort of bumpy as I drive along. But I can feel like it is comming from the wheel with 3 lugs. When I got home, I jacked up my car and was going to take off the 3 lugs and put back on the stock wheel but only 2 came off. I was working on the 3rd one, but stopped putting pressure on it because I didnt want to break a 2nd stud. Anyway, I RE-ATTACHED the lugs yet again, tightened them, lowered the car, drove it around the block and the "bumpyness" and noise went away. I decided to drive it one more time around the block and noticed the noise and the bump were starting to come back! WTF! Whats going on? I think I should also mention, that the rim that I took off the "balancing metal things" is the rim attached with the 3 lugs. ANY IDEAS? THIS IS SOOOOO DAMN ANNOYING!

I am going first thing tomorrow morning 7 AM to have the tire balanced and then right after that, I have an appointment with the Honda Dealer to put on the 4th stud...which by the way cost me 140! So what do you guys think the problem is? Thanks for some help!

You took off the balancing weight?

Get the stud fixed and see if you have a problem then. If so, then come talk to us.

Im sure that 3 studs instead of 4 arent helping any.

are your tires overinflated somehow ? i told you have the wheel balanced, and have the shop take it off for you. if they break the second one they will have to fix it for you
