I got the stock GM studs for my hi steer arm (d44) and they work fine for the arm, but i have to add a 1" spacer to get the drag link to clear teh springs. I've called all over the place lookin for 4" long 9/16" fine thread grade 8 studs and no one has em. So who knows where i can get em? and i need em fast too, so if anyone knows where to find em in San Diego county it would be even better. thanks.

Try Ababa bolt. They're local. If they don't have it they should
be able to get for you.

I have used ababa before and have been pleased with their service for buying small stuff. They should have what you need. I know they dont have much in metric though.

Call ARP in Cali. 1-800-826-3045 The stud you'll need is Part # AQ4.10L they are about $5.50 each. Then you will need to get a 9/16 x 12 "lock nut" because they only come 9/16x18 on 1 end the other is 9/16x12. If you need the nuts delivered call McMaster 732-329-3200 Part # 90636A066 Think they are in a box of 8-10 for around $7.50......Good Luck....SHAKER :beer: :beer:

thanks for the help, i called ababa bolt earlier and they said they dont carry studs. i'll try some of the others.
