Three studs or lugs broke off my right front wheel while driving, causing it to completely break off and damage the right front part of my truck. Thankfully i wasn't driving very fast or it would of been much worse. I've taken it to the shop and had it repaired. The mechanics say this should not have happened. I'm afraid my other wheels my do this as well. My truck is a 2014 toyota tundra plat 4x4

We have taken it to the mechanic three times for them to find no leak. A friend looked at it and found that the master…
