I heard a knocking sound in my rear (thought it was suspension), when i jacked it up i found that the one rear wheel rocks a little. The wheel studs rock back and forth and hit the openings in the brake cover causing the noise. Any idea what i am describing?
and what if anything broke?

Also did i read right in the owners manual that the wheels are only torqued to 76 ftlbs? I practically broke my back getting them off (and i actually broke a socket adapter they were on so tight)

thanks

Sounds like your bearings in your spindle are bad.
Doesnt sound right on a new vehicle though.
But it sounds like what you are describing.
4 bolts in the rear and you can change the hub/spindle.
