well my mechanic pressed my ARP extended wheel studs(also got open-ended lug nuts) and my front left wheel seems to wobble and feel as if the rim is bent or something. so far i think it is either the studs sticking out crookedly or maybe its an alignment problem. i sure hope they didnt actally bend my rim. oh, and i tried searching but couldnt find the right keywords.
anyhelp or suggestions of what this is?? :ugh:

they might not have seated the studs properly when they pressed it in. or they might not have pressed it in all the way. either way, you should take the wheel off and inspect the studs right away. call the shop and tell them whats going on.

alright i took it in and they dont seem to know what it is. the studs are in all the way. the lug nuts are torqued down real good. i lifted the front and spun the wheel, its definitely rubbing something i just dont know what. my other theories are:
-bad wheel bearings(?)
-loose rod or suspension arms
-bad bushings
-something rubbing on rotor or hub
-bent rim(highly doubt it though)
any suggestions?
