How bad is LVD tech?

'Sup guys? For those of you who go to LVD, I have 1 broken rear wheel stud. Are they going to fail me at tech or will they overlook it? I'll be running ET streets if it matters.

cant say i ever had them check my wheel studs before. but i mean putting in a new wheel stud should only cost like 5 bucks and take u like 10 minutes to do.

The plan is to try and get a new one in, but the odd's of anyone in my town having a 12mm bolt isn't very good.

Looks like I have to get creative if I cant get a replacement then. Oh well, I appreciate the responses.

They caught a locay guy "wayne" last year for a missing wheel stud. He was able to get one at a local parts store and fix it in the parking lot.

I'm not sure I'd go quite that far with it, but humvee was right, the local napa had one(and I emphasize "one"). So as long as I can get my driveshaft loop and harness in by tonight I might see some of you up there.
