hey mate,

its f?/#en scary ay, ive had it twice in my ute, once just rattled loose other time striped studs, and similar to you sloged out the holes they press into, i managed to reair mine by buying the next size studs, same thread but biger spline thru stud holes, drilled the holes to make them round intead of oval, smacked the new ones in and put a few spots of weld on the back of each stud, my 2nd time i wasnt so lucky and my tire hit an oncoming vehicle, evry1 ok but still, its not just trying to control a 3 wheel vehicle, its where that big lump of rubber is gonna go,

good luck
