Wheel Stud Kit - 7/16-20 3.165/.486 Knurl (5)

The ARP Wheel Stud Kit — 7/16-20 3.165/.486 Knurl (5-Pack) delivers OEM-grade fastening hardware designed for vehicles equipped with GM drum brake assemblies. This five-piece set features ARP's chromoly construction with cadmium plating, engineered to withstand the constant micro-cyclic loading that occurs during vehicle operation while resisting corrosion in demanding environments.

Each stud measures 7/16-20 in thread pitch with a 3.165-inch overall length and 0.486-inch knurl diameter. The knurl design provides superior grip during installation and removal, reducing the risk of slippage under a socket or wrench while the chromoly material resists stress concentrations better than standard mild steel. Cadmium plating offers reliable corrosion protection in salt-air and high-humidity conditions, critical for vehicles operating in coastal or wet environments. The specified dimensions ensure proper engagement with GM drum brake hub assemblies and wheel fastener systems.

This replacement wheel stud kit is intended for users performing drum brake service, hub assembly, or preventive maintenance on GM vehicles. Mechanics, fleet maintenance personnel, and serious do-it-yourself technicians rely on matched sets to ensure consistent clamping load across all stud positions. The five-piece configuration supplies one full corner or multiple single replacements for selective wear or damage repair.

ARP wheel studs are manufactured to exacting tolerances and undergo quality verification to meet or exceed OEM specifications. Proper installation requires the use of calibrated torque wrenches and adherence to vehicle service manual torque values to ensure safe wheel retention and prevent bearing damage.
