Has this happened more than once? If so then the wheel offset is problem too great and is putting excessive stress on the spindles.

it happened 2 times so far. Its getting repaired again. Are the wheels to heavy n too big 18 inch?

The car was not engineered for wheels that size. I’m not sure why only the passenger side is failing but I would guess it’s only a matter of time till the other side fails too. I would be looking for something less extreme in the way of wheels.
