    Need some stud/axle help

    Well here is the problem.. Three of the holes in my axles are stripped out. When i switched my tires they were really loose and i thought maybe it was just the stud so i got three new studs put them in and still the same thing. These wiggle so bad that it loosens my lug nuts to the point every time before i drive i have to tighten them up. So what should i do? Should i tack weld the three loose ones? Put some good ole JB weld? or what should i do?

    I don't think it is supposed to be threaded in the 1st place. The studs should press in.

    I wouldn't put my life on the line, get a new or used replacement axle. All gt v6 and cobras from 94 - 98 are the same.

    Did you use the wrong diameter stud?

    get new one that has a larger NULL but if doing this make sure you do all your studs like this
