I'm not sure what the reason was, but I had 4 of 5 studs break once as
I was turning a corner!! The wheel moved out and rotated off the hub
a little. The right rear corner of the car started bouncing up and down
about 6 inches. I'm glad it was a rear wheel and not a front one.
I'm still not sure what made that fifth one hold on.
