Spare parts that worth having at home?
 

Hello,

I bought a couple of Wheel lug stud SU00300781, because they are cheap and I read they are prompt to break. I will order also some exhaust gaskets because I changed it a couple of times and now it´s leaking


I do track my car and I do frequent jobs like brake fluid bleeding, oil change... So I wonder if there is something else that is likely to need an exchange, so it´s worth to have in stock. For example what about bleeder screw? SU00300582

:thanks:

An OEM axle. At least 1 coilpack. Spare set of front brake pads.

Spare OEM parts or parts that can replace OEM when they break to save your butt?

Why get OEM studs when ARP studs exist?

It has been my experience that whatever part gives out, you won't have a spare on hand.

I still have a spare fuel pump for a 1948 Chevrolet - if anyone is interested - :iono:

I'm with Wally, here. One of my wheel studs broke off in the lug nut. Rather than just replace the one that broke and have to deal with it again when another one breaks, bit the bullet and replaced all 20 with ARP studs. Not cheap in the moment, but I'm pretty sure these studs are going to outlive the car, so we'll call it cheap insurance. Makes even more sense to be proactive if you're going to be taking the wheels on and off frequently for brake maintenance. If you manage to wreck an ARP stud, well...yikes. By the power of Grayskull! :bellyroll:

Some of the spares I keep around at the moment, nothing spectacular:

Stock air filter for when I have to clean my aftermarket drop-in one (doesn't apply to people who have changed their whole intake, of course).

Bottle of 50/50 premixed Subaru coolant.

Set of spare signal, low beam and high beam bulbs.

Quart of oil.

Spare fuses.

Also, while they're not "parts", with how much they've shrunk in size now, I always keep one of those small power bank/battery jumpers and a small air compressor in the trunk, because dead batteries never happen in convenient places, and I'm admittedly bad about keeping my spare tire pressure up as regularly as the main 4. Good for adjusting tire pressure for auto-x and track days as well.


And after seeing whataboutbob's suggestions I think I'm going to throw those things into my spares too. :thumbup:

Subaru's Supercoolant jug.

Does it have crickets?

For me, it has been front hubs. I keep at least one loaded set with me. I also carry a spare CV, couple coil packs. Consumables are a given, always have them on hand.

I do have a spare TOB, transmission, engine. You know, the basics.

Brake hardware kits are good to have on hand.

I've needed to replace slider pin bushings and pad clips on the fly due to random damage

Nope.. It just quietly goes ahgaha - ahgaha , like they used to do - whoops, wait one ....... the rubber diaphragm just disintegrated after the third ahgaha - :iono: I reckon it's time to toss it ...... :(

Let me also add:
Low profile mini fuses
Bulbs for side marker lights (others are LEDs)
A pack of condoms to give to KIA or BMW drivers trying to drag race you, so they won't reproduce.

It will buff right off

I sorta tried that once - I made a diaphragm out of a piece of inner tube - it didn't work too good - I still had to go to the junk yard to get another fuel pump - :iono:

He probably got it straight from Moses so likely locusts.
