Super Metal Hub Stud Kit
4WD Off-Road is an extreme hobby that puts extreme wear and tear on your Toyota truck. It is essential to upgrade and maintain every part on your truck from axles to suspension. It is equally important to upgrade the hardware that keeps everything together. The same can be said for the hub studs. When the hub studs fail, you will be left without four wheel drive, and oftentimes the hub will be unrepairable. This is the main reason why LC engineering has decided to make an affordable upgrade that won’t break the bank. Our Super Metal Hub Stud Kit is manufactured to our strict specifications and are significantly stronger than OEM standard (testing exceeded Class 12.9 standards of 177,000 psi tensile strength). Our Super Metal hub studs are zinc-plated to ensure that it is protected from rust and corrosion for many rough years to come. On the top of the stud we machined a 6mm hex head so that installation and maintenance is easy and no special tools are required. Our Super Metal Hub Stud Kit comes with enough hardware to upgrade your front axle.
Kit Includes:
- 12x Super Metal Hub Studs
- 12x Lock Washers
- 12x Cone Washers
- 12x Class 12.9 Hex Nuts
