    Borgeson Power Steering

    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...

    Wheel Studs

    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...

    Wheel Studs

    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...

    Wheel Studs

    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...

    Wheel Studs

    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...

    Wheel Studs

    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...

    Torque Thrust D's Lug Nuts

    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...

    Torque Thrust D's Lug Nuts

    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...

    Torque Thrust D's Lug Nuts

    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...

    Torque Thrust D's Lug Nuts

    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

    Torque Thrust D's Lug Nuts

    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...
