Does anyone have a suggestion on the length of studs to run with spacers? I am running 5/16 spacers and I need more thread on the studs. Any suggestions on vendors?
Thanks guys. Here is a link to a video of the Trans Am a PCA event last weekend. I still need springs and the motor only had 10 miles on it, so it was a break in run, but it is getting better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPRC-jgo59Y |

FYI - it's not necessary to pull the rear axles to put the studs in. It's not a bad idea, but just not a necessity, if you have a car that had ABS.
When you look at the rear portion of the back of the axle flange, you'll see the TCS/ABS sensor held on with 1 bolt. When you remove that sensor, there is a hole in the back of the flange. You can almost push the sensor in from the back, but the reluctor wheel for the ABS is in the way. If you grind just about 1mm of material off the stud head, you can fit the stud past the reluctor wheel. I did mine in my driveway in about an hour 5 years ago, and they are still working fine. |
