I recently had my two front hubs replaced using aftermarket models. This was in early December, and I ran the rest of winter fine with my stock wheels and all season treads.
Until 2 days ago...
I decided I would swap back on my aftermarket wheels, seeing as how we've had a great few weeks of weather, time to get my moneys worth out of these wheels.
I had no problems placing the rear two wheels on and sinching them up, but something wasn't right about the front two. Both wheel lugs were tightened as much as possible, and I was getting a TON of wobble and rubbing from my tires. (PS - I used these wheels for 6 months last summer, without a single issue.)
So I drive my car to my uncles, figuring I've stripped a few bolts.
GUESS AGAIN
My car had two different front hubs, using two completely different thread patterns, and two completely different stud/bolts for which the lugs are supposed to thread onto.
My left was from, what the NAPA guy explained as "closest thing to these studs is off of a Subaru."
The right hub, BARELY fits stock studs, it took a TON of yanking and pulling to get the neural through the hub/rotor.
My left hub had metric studs, the right...we're assuming was standard as there was no impression.
ANYHOW, please if you ever need **** replaced, BUY GM!!!!!
I will be stopping down to where I purchased these hubs, and telling them to refund me asap, as well as calling my local GM dealer to have this job done properly, at the price of an arm and a leg Im sure.
My car is up and running again, 3 different sets of lug nuts for 4 wheels later.
done venting.
