^have you ever read any of his other posts? i think you'll have an idea of how.

arp hands down, dorman if you want run of the mill replacements

i would htink you need to rethink things, having the most hi-po studs in the world wont help if youre too much of a dumbass to have the nuts torqued properly, and having the sense to be able to feel that something is wrong before the whole fuckign wheel falls off

just go to the store and get whatever, no need to get the best for a basket case POS

whatever fag^

yeah, didnt read it good, if you just forgot to tighten them down and they didnt actually break, go to the parts store, get some new ones, hammer the old ones out, and put the new ones in, but for god's sake invest in a stud installer, don't try to pull them through with a lugnut, or you'll be doing it agian before you finish

I prefer a 10lb sledge and try to get them out in one solid wack.

unless its a worn out piece of shit, it won't hurt a damn thing, most come out with one or two swings, if you dont use a pussy ass hammer

nuthin wrong with dorman studs.

12/8/2005 7:20:01 PM

^ thats what we use at work all the time from carquest, i got a box of 14mmx1.25 with some fucked up threads before though, they were all flat on one side, otherwise never had any problems

you niggers wouldnt understand. the nuts were tightened to 95 ftlbs. the rear or the car is kinda loose. (bushings are only like 35 years old) so i didnt feel that there was anything wrong with the car. so now i have orderd energy suspension poly. bushings and i have new studs and lug nuts on both the back axles.

if the lugnuts were properly torqued and you lost a wheel you have issues besides bushings.
