Lug Stud for the '63 Dart

[Jim Kueneman]

So someone replaced the front wheel lug stud in the hub with new all RH threads before I bought it. When I took the nuts off the lugs could be pressed out of the hub with your finger. The holes in the hub still have nicely defined ribs like the should, it does not look like the drove the lugs out through the brake drum and hogged out the holes. Are all aftermarket lugs not created equal? Anyone have recommendations of lugs I should buy that may fit tightly?

I used NAPA 641-1615 serrated studs 7/16 -20 right handed on the rear .

They probably did it right: Cut the swedge and drove them out the back, retaining the ribs. New ones are a friction fit on the ribs, get 'em started and torque a rim on them to draw them through. LHT or RHT, whatever you got nuts for. IIRC the fronts and rears are different as well as later disk to drum? Confirm?
