They may have actually been too loose. After changing my front brakes I used a tire iron to put them back on, but I may not have put enough torque into it.
My dad got tired of me trying to figure it out, and had it towed to a shop while I was at work without telling me. It was $100 since he didn't call ahead for a quote before showing up with a tow truck... *sigh*
Not only that, but apparently my front pads that I changed are down to about 20% since I didn't change the rotors when I should have.
Hasn't been a good week for my car and I. Looks like when I get paid I'm going to have to break down and get some new rotors. Front pads only cost me $15 at least, so it wasn't that big of a loss. The ****ty part is the price gauging the shop did on my dad, and that $100 was only to do the one tire. I still have a front right tire with a broken stud. I mentioned before that my front right side of my car used to shake, but I think that has to do with my broken sway bar, and not the broken stud, so it should be fine for now. I work 7 days a week so I don't see much daylight, but I'm going to try to get around to removing the sway bar, assuming I have all the tools I need.
Thanks for the help Liquifire.
