Wheel Studs

Thought that Moser Studs were higher quality than Stock Studs.
Hence tightening to 110# for better clamping force.
Plus advice from another racer that did the same.

When the left wheel came off the Studs were supposed to be at 85#.
From Coleydogs post....Breaking or Shearing?
They look like they broke, one had fallen out without me knowing it.
Plus did not check them in a couple months, which I do now often !!!!!!!
So that would indicate they were loose. Correct?

Bought new Studs and Axles from Moser as the Splines were even bent.

Adding one more experience.
After installing the new axles and studs they were Clamped to 85#.
At the track checked them and they were loose and reset them to 85#.

Made a few Q runs and they were loose again.
This time clamped them to 110#.
Checked after the race they were at 110#

This last week pulled all the wheels off and examined the.
Discovered some of the Steel Washers were deformed.
Cleaned the surface of the holes in the wheels and replaced all the Washers and few Lug Nuts.
Never had Steel Washers deform like these did.

Going to contact ARP to learn what Steel Washers they have.
Think I need a better quality.

Are Studs from ARP, Moser and others are made by different Manufacturers?
