hello

well you have caught the dealer admitting something. first he claims they did not take the tires off to check the pad wear. on the other hand you were billed for and paid for the B service which it sounds as if the standard is to remove and rotate the tires. so.... what is it mr. dealer are you lying to me or screwing me?

IMHO....as for the lugs having one broke, i go back in time to the early 70's when chevy first came out with the full time fwd. they use to snap lug bolts on the front quite frequently and we drove on them without a problem. i would chance it but just don't go indy 500 and you should make it just fine.

someone help me here... but did he go in the right direction. again long time ago mopar used right hand lugs on the left and left hand lugs on the right. theory being that the lugs would be self tighting rotating in that direction. mbz practice of over kill may have them doing the same thing. just guessing here i've never even looked at taking a tire off yet.
