I just had one of my wheel studs replaced at the dealer, because the wheel lock striped the stud. After the dealer put in the studs they said i have to replace the hub assembly an bearings. which is $430 that i dont want to spend.

No, it drives the same way as before. The dealership said for them to put in the new stud they had to do something to the bearings. I'll drive the car some more and see if anything goes wrong.

you can put a stud without taking out the hub.. i don't see why it's needed to change.

I think the dealer is trying to rip me off, because they said to put in the new stud they have break the hub and bearings. And they want $430 to do it.
