Are you getting the right studs? Those holes do not look stripped out. Those should be a moderate press fit on the knurled portion. If you are using the D30 Jeep hubs/rotors, get studs for a 78+ CJ5. I thought maybe I had a number for those but didn't find it.
CJ5 lug stud problem on one side
Hey all,
I use my CJ3B as a daily driver. It has a CJ5 frame and parts and from what I have been told, it is probably from a '70 or 71'. I installed disc brakes on the front 4-5 months ago, all new rotors, pads, calipers, lines, etc. and everything was fine. Recently, when braking, the driver's side front made a small grinding noise. I thought I might have a warped rotor as the pads are fine.
When I went to take off the lug nuts, the whole lug stud would spin, very loosely. All five of them, which is really odd and obviously leads me to assume that I have some other issue going on. As expected, this is not happening on the other side. I went and got new lug studs and it is the same thing, so the holes have been enlarged somehow. I had the wheels balanced and aligned a couple of months ago. Does anyone know what would cause this? And fixes? I assume I will have to get a new axle hub assembly?
Here is a pic and a small video of the issue.
