Highlander 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles
We took our 2005 Toyota Highlander to the tire shop for a tire rotation @ 10,000 miles. When the wheel nuts were hand torqued to 85pli two wheel studs broke. The employee told us that the metal seemed soft. We have the broken studs if you want us to send them in for testing.
