ok so ive had this problem on my car for a while and i think its time to fix it... my studs on my two front wheels are gone... i have a broken stud on each wheel and 2 studs that are tapped and about to break.... and i am mechanically inclined but installing studs is a bitch so i was thinking about just buying used spindles which i found easier to remove since so many of my studs are bad should i?

 

uppp.. .thinking bout just buying a new spindle instead of replacing all those studs... what u guys think?

 

????

 

bump it need some help

 

I would remove the hub, replace the studs that are bad/broken and then install 2 new wheel bearings in the front of the car and call it a day, killed two birds with one stone.

 

Agreed. Buy some bearings, maybe hubs and the studs and fix the studs. Putting new spindles on a car for such a small problem is kind of silly.

 

yea but installing studs is not easy... actually its removing studs that is the hard part u can be there for hours trying to remove a couple studs

 

then just go to a tire shop i think they charge like 5-8 dollars a stud replaced i just had 2 done when i put new rubber on my car

 

Yeah, but its a waste of money to buy whole new spindles because you don't want to make the effort to replace a few lug studs. I don't know about anyone else here, but I sure have more time than money.
