Default Precision Tuning downtowm San Jose SPOT ON!!!

Im from the valley (Fresno) and made a trip to the Bay Area. On the way driving on the 101 entering San Jose, I heard a loud thud and the car dropped a little and the car began wobbling violently! At first I thought it was a blown tire, I pull over and the tires are fine? I saw a rubber cord on the floor and thought maybe it got twined up and made the noise... So I get in and drive off (forgetting that it wasnt just a thud, but wobble too) I drive off and the wheel began to wobble violently again. I pulled over again to examine things and found that two of my studs snapped off my rear wheel! Now im stuck.

I call lightwave76 and ask for some local CL help, he gives me some info on Precision Tuning and I get in contact with Justin (owner and fellow CL member). Well after getting some family to come help a bit, I jacked the car up and found the 3 other lugs were about 2 turns away from coming off! Thus the reason for the violent wobble.

Anyways, the purpose of this thread is to give props to Justin and Precision Tuning in downtown San Jose, I was in and out in no time and was taken well care of. Clean and professional business!


Anyways, if you're reading this Justin... Thanks bud, even though it was minor, it meant a lot!

Over tightened studs is likely the cause

Yea I'm on spacers, however I'm pretty sure its because they were loose because the other 2 that didnt break were almost completely off. I had just switched to my summer wheels a week prior and didnt double check the torque the following week... but yea all is good now, that goodness for Club Lexus Chris and Justin saved the day
