I'm changing out the wheel studs on my project MJ. They were stripped and in pretty bad shape because the PO had the wrong nuts (aka not beveled acorn nuts) in there so the wheel holes were all wallowed out which futzed up the bolts, yeah, ALL 20 of them.
So in replacing them I wanted to make them a little longer, so it was off to NAPA. The wheel studs for an 88 MJ are listed as "total length" 1 5/8". I wanted another 1/2". Simple enough, eh. NOT!!
First the wheel studs listed for the front are a different P/N. the difference is in the knurls. The fronts are .30 and the rears are listed as .19.
Has anyone run into this before. The studs and nuts are costing me some serious cash - $46 for the nuts (I ordered 23, front, rear and spare). The studs are $2.12 each (20 of them = $42 + tax). Also, nobody carries 20 studs at a time
