But my grandpa had to pull out the 3 studs that where sheared off completely, and so we replaced those.(There was only two studs left that weren't completly sheared off but extremely damaged and that's why my tire was still hanging on by a thread)There where some chaffing scratches on it, but we didn't have to replace the hub as it was still thoroughly intact. However the wheel had a few scratches on the inside metal of it but it wasn't too much of an issue that I had to replace that either thankfully as we caught the issue in time. We didn't have to replace the nuckle either. I will absolutely invest in a dashcam for sure as there's a lot of sketchy people in the city, and also my fued with my neighbor.

Thank you! I definitely appreciate the advice haha. Honestly I don't know much about cars lol. And yes I feel SUPER LUCKy because earlier yesterday before my car broke down I was on the freeway to the gym and back before dropping off my partner at work. Like my tire could have popped off there and thank God it didn't on the freeway, holy shit. But I thought the thudding noise from the front of my car was my bumper piece for two weeks, (as previouse 3rd party who sold me the car had GLUED on the bumper) so I ziptied it. And at first I thought the rattling was from my bumper coming loose, so legit after I had dropped of my boyfriend the store I was going to was a shop to check out my bumper(as I had thought that was the problem as there was no yellow indicator light on in my car). And I was 4minutes away from the shop to have it looked at when my car broke down.

youre lucky the wheel didnt completely disconnect and hit someone. insurance doesnt like that! Did your grandparents replace the hub or the entire knuckle? if you can afford it i highly recommend replacing in pairs. i always do whenever something fails like a wheel bearing even if the other side is ok. on the locking lugs, they arent a bad idea for sure but if someone is truly trying to steal your wheels or cause you injury by "mechanical failure" they wont do much except make them angrier as most wheel locks can be bypassed with a regular socket, a hammer and time. for a dashcam i strongly recommend one that has a good forward facing camera as well as a night vision interior camera as well as rear facing addon. you definitely dont need the interior camera but it could come in handy if someone breaks into your car or to prove to your insurance that you werent distracted driving. all that being said BlackVue. i dont believe they offer a camera with interior and rear facing but they are very good quality cameras, but a bit pricy. if you have any questions please do ask!
