Wheel Studs

Wheel studs are critical components that provide the means to attach wheels to a vehicle's hub. They are sturdy, threaded metal rods that protrude from the hub & serve as mounting points for the wheels. Wheel studs are typically made of high-strength steel to withstand the forces & loads exerted on them during vehicle operation. They are designed to securely hold the wheel in place & maintain proper alignment. The threaded end of the wheel stud allows for the installation of lug nuts or lug bolts, which are tightened to secure the wheel to the hub. Wheel studs come in various lengths & thread sizes to accommodate different vehicles & wheel types. It is essential to use the correct wheel studs that match the specifications of the vehicle, including length, thread size, & seat type (e.g., cone seat or flat seat). Regular inspection & maintenance of wheel studs are important to ensure they are in good condition, free of damage or wear. If any wheel studs are damaged, they should be promptly replaced to maintain the integrity & safety of the wheel attachment.
