So I got the car up in the air, and pulled the wheel off and checked all the studs.
They're all tight, not spinning, and none of the threads are stripped or coming off.
None of the lug nuts on that side is fucked up either.
So then I put the wheel back on, and I think the reason for the lug nut issue is that, the lug nuts weren't 100% centered in the holes on the wheel, which I just made sure that all 5 of them were this time.
Haven't tightened it with a torque wrench yet, but so far it seems promising.
Then I moved on to the passenger side front wheel, and I've always wondered why the rotor keeps catching on the pads instead of being able to keep spinning round and round.
Well, there was a wobble... Obviously it couldn't be Work wheel actually releasing a wobbly wheel to the general public, and since the wheel hasn't seen any real driving on it yet, it can't be bent.
So I started taking the brakes on that side off and looking deeper into the problem.
Long story short.
It was the wheel studs.
The knurl area on those studs STUCK OUT past the the hub's face.
And yes, I got different studs from the same place that I got them from for some reason, but that's not important for my post because I've already contacted them about it.
Anyway, so now it looks like the car's going to sit on jack stands for at least another week...
Sigh...
Telling you guys, 1 thing after another...
