Ok guys, everytime I bring my car to a place where they need to remove the rear tire, they always mention that some of my stud are cross threaded.

1st = New Tire in Discount Tire ( 3 stud that was cross threaded)
2nd = new ground affect in the rear (2 stud that was cross threaded)
3rd = Getting my 3.42 Gears intalled( 1 stud cross threaded)

Any idea why my the rear stud is always getting cross threaded?

It is driving me crazy!

Perhaps you should be more careful when mounting your wheels. I aways make sure they're not cross-threaded when I'm putting on the lug nuts.

If you use an impact wrench to install lug nuts without first ensuring that they are in the right grooves, the wrench will surely make some new ones.JMHO

Probably done by the same idiots that told you they were cross-threaded.

Bingo! Either don't keep taking it back to the same place, or start watching them when the put them on.

true, next time I will watch them. Matter of fact I should just bring a camara to record them :-)
