Wheel Studs
Car wheel studs are threaded fasteners that protrude from the wheel hub, onto which the wheel is mounted and secured with lug nuts. They play a crucial role in maintaining the connection between the wheel and the vehicle, ensuring stability and safety. Made from high-strength steel, wheel studs are designed to withstand significant stress and torque during driving.
Proper maintenance of wheel studs includes regular inspection for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replacing any compromised studs promptly is essential to prevent wheel detachment. Correct installation, including appropriate torque application, is vital to ensure the studs' longevity and the overall safety of the vehicle.
