Loose wheel lug

Loose wheel lug
Seems that when I had mechanic change the lower control arm on the driver side front side, he must have cross-threaded one of the 5 wheel threads so that the wheel lug does not tighten securely.
Question is this a situation that deserves no attention, or should I need to go to a scrapyard and change the whole wheel splindle if that is was it is?

Same reason you don't beat on the end of an axle, I've seen quite a few mushroom out that way and have to be ground down to fit back through the hub.

OK, the second lug won't tighten, so now I have no choice but to replace both studs.
I just changed my pads today and noticed that one can pound them thru but not enough clearance at the other end to pop it through. Just looks that way.
So just bash it out?

That's what happens when morons that don't know how to properly use air guns. Get a new stud and lug.
There should be a slot on the back where the old stud can clear and come out. Keep spinning the hub until you find it. You know how to install the new one right?

That's right, spin the wheels to a clearance spot. Took it to a garage and was informed the wheel lugs were damaged not the studs. They wanted $11 each, I said no, had the 99 cents ones at home.
Anyways saw how they installed lugs, no hand screwing, just jamming the lugs on.
