Spicer Front Spindle to Steering Knuckle Mounting Stud Kit for Jeep CJ5, CJ7 & CJ8 Scrambler (Set of 12, Both Sides)

Eliminate unsafe front-end hardware fatigue, ensure proper torque retention on your wheel ends, and restore factory-spec structural security to your classic rig with this genuine Spicer Spindle to Steering Knuckle Mounting Stud Kit. Specifically packaged as a complete, 12-piece dual-side hardware overhaul for 1976–1986 Jeep CJ series 4x4 vehicles, this high-tensile fastener set replaces stretched, rusted, or cross-threaded factory spindle studs.

On classic Jeep open-knuckle Dana 30 front axles, the wheel spindle is clamped tightly to the steering knuckle by a pattern of six specialized studs per side. These fasteners endure immense shear stress and leverage forces from cornering loads, braking torque, and the added weight of oversized off-road tires. Over decades of trail use, or during repeated brake and wheel bearing teardowns, the factory studs naturally stretch, corrode, or suffer from damaged threads due to over-impacted nuts. Reusing compromised or fatigue-stretched studs risks structural clamping failure, which can lead to severe wheel hub looseness, catastrophic brake rotor misalignment, or spindle separation on the trail.

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hardware master pack includes 12 premium-grade, correct-length mounting studs to fully service both the driver and passenger side steering knuckles simultaneously. Sourcing genuine Spicer components guarantees exact factory thread pitch, precise shoulder seating depths, and matching metallurgy engineered to meet original vehicle load-bearing standards.
