IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE MY LAST POST, SO THIS IS IMPORTANT MAYBE TO SOME. HERE WE ARE 10PM FRIDAY NIGHT NORTHBOUND I-95 WATERVILLE, MAINE HEADING TO MOOSEHEAD LAKE CRUISING AT 75 MPH, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A HUGE EXPLOSION FROM UNDERNEATH THE ODYESSE, I INSTANTLY START LOSING CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I LOOK AT THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS AND I SEE A TIRE AND RIM BOUNCE OFF THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE CAR BEHIND US, THEN THERE IS A DRAGGING AND PULLING TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, WE FINALLY COME TO A STOP 2 FEET FROM A GUARD RAIL. AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DUAL WHEELS, ALL 5 STUDS HAD SHEERED OFF, CASTING US DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON A 70MPH TRIPOD ! NOBODY HURT, 6 HOURS LATER A SPECIAL ''LO-BOY'' FLATBED, WE WERE HOME. DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL, 5 NEW STUDS / LUG NUTS, AND 2 NEW TIRES.... BUT MY QUESTION FOR THE GROUP IS THIS : " WHY ? " and WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN? THERE IS ONLY 45,000 MILES ON THIS RIG.... THANK YOU !

thank you the part numbers were right on, but a new problem has come up !! The rear tires are "cupping " even though there is enough normal tread left. I do not know if this cupping has occurred before the studs broke off, or as a result of the studs and tire / rim flying off I-95 at 70 mph ! I did notice that the rear shocks are rusted badly. 1987 Odyssey MH What are the best rear shocks for this motorhome? the existing ones were replaced in 2008, standard duty, less than 10,000 miles on them, but they rust badly in Maine

Thank you, our mechanic did in fact ordered the wrong studs, and now that we have the pn, it should [ should] be a breeze! thank you.

Please help. I have a 87 Odyssey rear dual wheel all 6 studs broke off doing 70 mph on I-95. The axle apppears to be the 'good one', but I am having trouble finding replacement studs. DOES ANYONE HAVE A SOURCE ? my email mainequarter@comcast.net thanks-
