What to do with driver side studs after crossover?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm, have you no rust up there?


I heated mine, beat on it, chained my dog to it, cussed at it, threatened it with my X fiance, and even went so far as almost unleashing my children on it, and it refused to even slightly move. So, its permanent.

I always laugh when people say how hard those things are to take off. Im sorry I just cant help it. I may not be from the super rustiest of states but NJ is pretty rusty and when I yanked mine I cracked it twice with a 2lb sledge and it budged right off.

As far as the original question I filled both my knuckles with fine thread bolts w/ washers just to fill the holes but I have to say cutting the steering arm and leave a chunk of steel bolted to the top of the knuckle to thicken it is a pretty good idea.

Its a good idea you had there. Those knuckles are F'ing thin with no arm on top of them.

So you guys think its definitely worth chopping up my stock arm and bolting it on?

I couldnt say for sure if it would help but it certainly cant hurt.
