What causes wheel bolts to shear?
Over tightening of the lug nuts could stress them and over time they could shear. Loose lug nuts would allow the wheel to wobble and break them. brakes dragging could cause lots of heat stressing any and all metal near by.
How much of a bolt should protrude through the nut when tightening a fastener to be considered safe?
As a rule of thumb a bolt should protrude through a nut by at least 3 full threads. The reason for this is because often the first 2 or 3 threads of a bolt are poorly formed, usually due to a chamfer on the end of the bolt for easier starting. Thus they will not produce the full strength of the fastener.

Can you drive with 4 out of 5 Lugnuts?
You can safely drive at legal speeds with a missing lug nut; however, you should head to your nearest tire shop as soon as possible. Car wobble and the additional stresses placed on the vehicle as it turns, brakes, and accelerates can cause other issues: the remaining lug nuts can loose, and the wheel studs can break.
Should you tighten the nut or the bolt?
There is no simple answer to this as in some instances, it is perfectly acceptable to tighten the bolt head while holding the nut in place. In other situations, it’s acceptable to tighten the nut. It all depends on the application and the condition of the product or material being worked with.
Which type of nut prevents slipping while tightening?
Nylon or metal inserts inside a nut (sometimes called a “lock nut”) can add extra friction to prevent loosening. A related idea is to fit a spring inside the nut, which firmly grasps the bolt threads and is designed to move in the opposite direction of the nut if vibration or other forces cause it to unwind.
Should you replace all wheel studs?
