RE: Front hubs / studs?

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I changed all of mine when I bought my Ansen Sprint wheels and the studs 
were too short.  changed them all to RH at the same time.  I went to 
NAPA and got them to let me look in their catalog on my own until I 
found what I needed.  As I recall the knurled portion on the 
replacements was very slightly smaller but worked.  They were also too 
long for the cap style lugnuts and I had to cut off @ 1/2".  But it was 
as close as I could get to what I needed.
