I have a 2001 Pt Cruiser. I noticed in your NHTSA id #10010478 you state that the front hub/half shaft click/pop sound. My car starting making such a sound immediately before all of the wheel studs where sheared off and the front right wheel separated from the automobile while going 60 miles an hour. I have all five studs that have been removed that can be inspected. I also have one of the lug nuts with part of the stud. The studs where sheared off even with the face of the rotor. There was no warning that there was a major problem with the vehicle before the wheel separated from the vehicle.
