im located in east side sj... last night i was hearing a weird squeaking noise in the rear and couldn't diagnose it, woke up this morning to check it out and one of the lugs was off and the stud was broken. jacked up the car and while loosening the lug next to it, it broke off so easily when i was loosening it ,with the stud inside. possible that i overtorqued them? and the car is considerably low and is at -3 neg camber if that makes a difference?... ahh it was out of nowhere and this sucks

I'd suspect you over torqued them or they were loose. Low and -3 aren't the issue.
