This will elaborate on recent complaint of same incident. Although tire pressure was equalized while cold to manufacturer's specifications: 32 P.S.I., and alignment was not an issue, car wandered on highway. In order to restore proper handling, lug nuts were retorqued. While being retorqued to manufacturer's specifications, I.e., 80 ft. Lbs., lug nut stud on driver's side rear tire (hub) snapped/sheared off. This week car will be taken to independent shop to replace stud, check out other studs for imminent failure and replace other defective studs, if any.
