Wheel Studs
Looking for a place in Mesa that can replace all 20 of my wheel studs with the new ARP ones I have.....

My suggestion would be to go buy a harbor freight press and do it yourself.
Replacing each stud for a shop is going to take a decent amount of tinkering and work, so it's best relegated for a speed shop that's setup for this sort of thing. A HF press can go pretty cheap if you get a coupon, I think I got my 20 ton for $80 on a 4th of July sale. Use it once and you'll realize how nice it is being able to do jobs like this on your own! Edit: I am not local, as you can see, but I do a lot of mechanical work on my own cars. This job isn't bad if you follow the DIY, and are comfortable doing a brake job.

With only the one answer that was to by a press (would of still cost more, even with the 20% coupon).
I just had to replace my tires, Discount Tire recommended Network Alignment in Gilbert as another factory stud broke during the tire replacement. ALL 20 studs replaced by them for $148 .00 and under 45 minutes. Hopefully the ARP replacements will last longer than the crap the factory used.

Sorry I missed this thread first time around.
Network Alignment in Gilbert is good people. I used SRD in Tempe, they took a little longer (and were a little more expensive), but they're also good people and I enjoy giving them my business. I don't remember how much, it was about 4 years ago. Studs are doing great, and have MANY wheel changes to their credit - I put race tires on before each autocross and remove them afterwards. You will be very happy with your purchase. My studs are probably due for a new set though. If you change wheels as often as I do, you should consider studs and lug nuts to be wear items. And just like brakes, you don't want to discover what happens when they wear too far. |

As I am fairly new to this car and this forum, I get the feeling that the studs are crap. Does this mean, that if I go out and buy new tires from someone other than my Toyota dealership, every time they rotate the tires (free rotation is usually included with tire purchase), I should be concerned that they may break one or more of the studs? Does buying the new tires from my Toyota dealership guarantee that they will cover a problem with the studs? I'm not trying to be a dink, here, I'm just finding out how often these studs fail. Thanks so much in advance!

ARP makes replacement studs for our car in standard and extended lengths, and a great investment in the long run. Super strong and long lasting. My total out of pocket was less than $250 and I ordered the Studs from Summit Racing. https://www.summitracing.com/search/...pe/wheel-studs

If you're not changing wheels once per month or more, upgraded studs will last the life of the car. ARP also has a bit of dead space at the tip of the stud with no thread - makes it almost impossible to cross thread (it will be very obvious when you do, it's a great feature). |
