I am very new to the car world like I just got my first car a few days ago and so far I’m not so lucky. I have a 96 civic and the wheel alignment is totally off I mean like really bad but that’s an easy fix. I was actually was on the way to get that done and then one of the screws coming out of the rotors broke off of my right front tire and the others got loose and wheel basically came flying off. Is it safe for me to just use a spindle on the screws or would I have to replace the whole thing? If so how much am I looking, And also why do you think this happened?

The lugs were either over tightened or cross threaded. see if this helps.
looks like the rotors are showijng some problems…. are you noticing when your braking a posating when your braking??? that would be a sign of warped rotors… but looks like you have deep groves inyour rotor… how much pads do you have left? you might need to change your brakes too
I would replace those lug bolts or your wheel hub first before you get an aliment it might of been just that.. causing your wheel to become wabblyThank you I have a good amount of pads left and I plan to change the rotors and put new pads in anyway this week hopefully

Lugs made for steel rims used on aluminum rims is also a factor as they become loose. But for sure if they are stripped or over tightened ruining the threads, the wheels will loosen of and will start breaking studs
