98 ram 2500 wheel hub & studs
I have a 98 Ram 2500 with a GVW of 8001-9000#. I'm rebuilding the front end and had trouble finding wheel hubs with studs installed, so I bought hubs and had my buddy press in the studs with a press at work. The splines on the studs go past the flange on the hub and wont dig into the hub like they are supposed to. I went back to the auto parts store where I got the studs and both GVW options have this feature. So the guy tells me they may dig into the rotor. I haven't taken apart mine yet to see as I have a bad ball joint and plan on taking it to my buddy's house to use his garage and I don't want to have the wheel off in front of my house. Anybody ever hear of the wheel studs digging into the rotor with it's splines? I would think this would make changing rotors (which I will have to do also) very difficult. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all.
