Following up. My whiteline from swaybar endlinks were indeed loose as a goose as well, hence all the clunking. Now tightened up and all good again.

This may sound like a silly question...ricey, even. But.....
Has anyone ever thought of pinning their trunk hinges like so to make a sort-of whale tail spoiler? I know added-on wings and spoilers are illegal in STX but this isn't added on, so maybe a loophole?

Haha sort of half-serious. I mean I know it's obviously silly but I have also seen guys with giant whale-tail spoilers made of plywood and plexiglass...

Any alternative wheel studs better than stock or ARP? I'm on my third sized/striped factory stud.

Nope, not avoiding them, just trying to make myself aware of all options before I order something tonight / tomorrow. I was going to get the arp extended if nothing else came up. |

I have the ARP studs. Over 3 years of wheel changes they are fine.

+1 for ARP studs. Worth the price IMO for never getting frustrated during a wheel change again.

The Dorman wheel studs have worked very well also. Eventually I will be going to the short ARP ones

Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. Do you have the Dorman studs? If so, why will you replace them with ARPs? If not, why go with ARP instead of Dorman?
