    Major Vibration on driver side

    ok guys my damn car has been sitting in my drive way for about a week and a half . It all started when I was dricing back home and my car had been having this small vibration for a while untill one night i was driving home and it got worse like reallly loud and just sounded terrible. So I'm driving down the road with my friend and I tell him to hold the wheel cause i wanted to check on the tire so I look out the window and i see one of my lug nut fall off CRAZY I know. I pull over to the road and lift the car up and pull the tire off and the axle is demolished lol like hangin out so I put the wheel back on and notice all my damn studs are stripped out from where i guess the vibration broke the lugs nuts loose. I park it at the church because I was not about to drive it home alll messed up. The car sat at the church for one day cuz i couldnt get a hold of anyone to get it towed to my house so the next day I go to the church to get my car and its gone, the church had called and got it towed. By then i'm pissed off and want to get my car back I go to Bells to recieve my car and pay $150 to get it out reason for the outrageous price was because they had complications getting it on the bed cause the car is lowered and the tires were turned and locked. Anyways I get the car to my house and begin workin on it I put a new halfshaft in and new axle new wheel studs and all new lug nuts, I take the car down the road and my car is still having this vibration. Its pissing me off i dont know what else it could be my ball joints are shot so friday im getting all new ball joints my wheels bearings are fine I couldnt shake the tire when the car was on the ground. Hopefully some of yall can help me figure out what the problem is i would really appreciate it.any of yall know what it could be ???

              Did you put the same wheel back on? Did you have a good look at the stud holes in the wheel? I'll bet they are chewed to bits, and also the wheel centre where it fits onto the hub centre. If this is all as I suspect it is then the wheel is unlikely to be centred on the hub, and will have vibration due to being effectively out of balance and also effectively not round any more (i.e. the wheel will still be round, but mounted on the hub so that it's not concentric to the hub axis and thus will behave like it's not round).

              It could also be that the stud holes are so chewed out that the nuts aren't actually tighteneing hard against the wheel any more?

              PS If I asked very nicely would you consider breaking your posts up into paragraphs? This would make them easier to read.
