I broke a lug stud a couple weeks ago and I’m having a difficult time finding a replacement. It appears these studs can only be purchased along with a new hub.
However, my hub is fine and I don’t want to spend a $250 (timken) or $700 (LR) for a replacement hub when I don’t need it.
Yes, I realize I still need to pull the hub to replace the stud. I still don’t want to replace it.
I’ve found studs that appear to be the same size (M14x1.5) and about the same length it’s hard to know if the knurl length and diameter are correct, or if the splines are right.
I picked up a couple dorman studs from autozone (just to compare in person) but the knurl length and diameter isnt right.
Rimmer Bros and the other “LR focused parts sites” appear to have studs for Range Rovers, freelanders, defenders, but not the LR.
I’ve found a couple threads on the forum but nothing with conclusive information.
Anyone got an idea?
