Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/20/2019 -- Wheel studs are employed to hold the wheels of an automobile. They are basically the threaded fasteners mounted through the brake disk or brake drum directly to the vehicle hub. Lug nuts are fitted to the wheel stud to attach the wheel. Earlier OEMs used to employ a threaded hub and bolt arrangement, two parts in place of the three-part stud arrangement, which include the stud, hub and nut. But the added advantages of the wheel stud arrangement compel end users to adopt this arrangement in the replacement of the hub and bolt arrangement. The advantages of wheel studs include ease of mounting and dismounting wheels, and they also have more consistent torque values.

Three types of wheel studs are available in the market, namely screw-in, press-in and welded-in. Among the three, welded-in wheel studs are rarely used, owing to their complex installation. Screw-in studs are simply screwed into the existing threaded bolt hole in the hub while press-in studs are installed from the back side of the disk or drum hub.
