To make a long story short, my sister was driving her 300, hit a pothole, and this morning I went out to change out the spare. When I went to put on the nuts the damn wheel stud broke right off (snapped like a pencil). The car is an 04. I took the car to the nearest wheel/tire shop and having the studs replaced. 5 studs + labor came out to a little under $200 for one hub. If you add that up for all 4 corners total is $800+.

TIA

800 is what they quoted you or is that your guesstimate?

800 sounds high to me but 200 for one is about right. the shop may do better than 800 for all four wheels. i personally wouldnt change them all if its not needed

 

thanks ^^. forgot to mention that the reason the studs broke was because of rust from 7 years. when changing the spare I also realized that the hubs on the 300 are different than the 2IS so all together is a lot less labor. I was about to take off the rear wheels too and one of the studs broke off as well. I guess now i'm replacing the last 3 hubs
