I finally have my car running properly.
No more car shake on the freeway
No more shakey wheel
No more alignment issue


The problem was that the dealer I got it from sold it to me with all the bolts broken that connect to the wheel hub.

Thank god my wheel didn't fall off!

Wait....the wheel studs were broke? Like the ones that hold the wheel on 6 in all? Or the 3 that hold on the wheel bearing?

Glad it worked out for you!

Wtf? Seriously? That is horrible. Did you get it from a reputable dealer?

i had one break and one bend, and the car was undriveable... during a wheel bearing swap, the 10.8 bolt was so galded that it needed to be replaced, so I used a grade 8 bolt from advance because they were out of 10.8... the 8 broke and took a stock 10.8 with i bought some 10.8 from advance and it's been fine ever since.
