Extended Wheel Studs Word of Advice!!!

[Squizza]

Hi peeps,

Just want to warn you incase you weren't already aware!!!
I recently put some extended studs on my K11 Micra 1999, and had a very scary noise coming from the front!

So if you have extended studs and you get a noise that sounds very pressurised, pops, bangs and, scrapes here is the reasoning oh and I eventually got brake pedal trembles!!!
The garage had a look over, and due to length and amount of wheel changes they had unseated the brake discs and therefore that been the problem! So just reseat the disks

maybe the spline was too long luke ? (arrowed) members have had to chamfer the holes in the discs and drums before

Indeed they have - It was using generic nissan (14.3- I think) spline studs. The hub flange on the little one was not as thick as the length of the spline so it wouldn't let the disk and drum seat properly.

Yeah i seem to remember having to drill out the backs of the drum very slightly aswell. Cant remember if i had any issues with the larger discs up front.

Well for now there readjusted, new wheels on very soon when spacers and spiggot rings arrive cheers to frank for finding em!
Just have to keep a close eye on em' and anymore worries pop down to garage and they play a bit more for price of a pint or two!
