Hey All
If this has been addressed before in another post, apologies in advance as I didn't see it.
I'm getting the Borgeson Power Steering box to replace my stock Saginaw SPA S box.
I see I've got to get the half rag joint (still working my head around that) and the hoses that...
Hey All
Just to follow up and maybe help someone else, I did indeed go with the Dorman 610-381 Studs on my Raybestos Front hubs.
They pressed in nicely and work well even tho they are 9/16 Studs. Went with Mr. Lugnut Spline Lugnuts and gives me
plenty of clearance when tightening down the...
Hey All
Many thanks to Hemi-killer and Midlife for their input. The Dorman Excel sheet was great to sort
around to what might work. Right now seems the Dorman 610-162 is a semi-decent match.
I wouldn't be averse to the Dorman 610-381 9/16th Stud if it at least fits thru the Stud hole with no...
Hey All
Well...the Raybestos Disc-Hub changeover to a longer stud is downright kickin my ass.
I popped out a stud and it is approx a .612 knurl with a .750 shoulder..and of course...
only 1 inch of thread.
To make this work with my American Racing Wheels...I need at least 1.25 inches without...
Hey there
Thanks for the question. I have the AR Torque Thrust VNT70R wheels. They are indeed tapered.
For sure I don't want to be cruising along the highway one day when I start hearing lug nuts
popping off. It did actually happen to me after I put these wheels on...but that was down a back...
Hey Guys
So this week-end, after too much thought and too much time of investigation, I finally replaced
the Wheel Studs in the rear end of my '72 Mustang.
I looked at every single Wheel Stud on the planet and finally opted for the Dorman 610-368 stud.
The stock Knurl for the rear (Drum...
Thanks Don
I did chat with Dorman and they confirmed the .625 Knurl for me. Guy advised I might go with the
Dorman 610-368. It is a .627 Knurl, but he said the tolerance should be sufficient to allow it to fit.
I have looked at these Moser Engineering Studs. Seems their part number 8368...
Hey Guys
So I've narrowed it down to my Wheel Studs being way to short. I bought some Dorman open
faced lug nuts and attempted to use those on the existing Studs and found I could only get 10
full turns till they stopped. I could see in the lug nut that I had only engaged half of it.
So...
Hello Fabrice
Many thanks for the questions and for the link.
I tighten them with a Torque Wrench at 85Lbs. Pretty sure the threads are decent, but now going
over the link you provided it's possible that I may have one or two I said to Hell with and just
tightened them down as tight as...
Hey Midlife
Great idea.......but I'll just buy a few extra tubes of JB Weld and see if that helps :)
Or.....I think I might just wind up calling American Racing if they don't right back soon.
Thanks Guys
Mike
Hey All
I've got a 1972 Convertible that I put new 15" Torque Thrust D's on back in 2007.
Issue I'm having is that the Gorilla Lug nuts I used (tapered fit) keep loosening
after driving just a few miles. I did have an incident wherein the left rear wheel
nearly fell off one day after a 40...
