Hub stud and knuckle stud upgrades

Post by ausyota »

I saw these ARP studs at FROR.

Was thinking they would probably be a good idea for me to add to my front end while Ive got everything in bits.

Is there anyone in Aus I could get these from?
It is going to cost me about $250 for both kits including postage from the US.

for the hub studs I have had good success with upgrading to 10mm allen head capscrews (M10x1.25, grade 12,9), similar procedure to http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modul ... hp?t=11856
but ditching the cone washers and nuts - just the screws, so it's just drill, tap, bore out the axle flange - no widening the tapered hole. they can be done up VERY tight and unlike the 10mm studs with nuts you can still get the brake drum off over the cap screws. the screws are about $2 each, get 35mm. a tap is about $10, drill bit a few bucks. could probably use the capscrews for the hub studs too, with the cone washers.

there are sets of 10mm hub suds out there I have converted that have seen a lot of abuse and are still going strong.
