    Default 2002 hub spindle and rear axle studs

    Hey guys,

    Just found out that those are prone to failure under load and that they should be replaced about every 4-5 years. Any good source on where to get replacement parts?

    Also, how about going with custom made stuff?

    Give the guys at Irelend Engineering a call at (626) 359-7674 or www.bmw2002.com they can modify your hubs with larger studs

    Manuel. I've been there done that. Got lucky, left stub axle snapped off while accelerating out of the pit lane at Willow Springs (Not a good track to brake a left rear axle) Check with your freindly neighborhood BMW dealer or maybe Maximillion. Make sure you get new, factory axles and hubs. Compared to the consequences. No price is too high.

    There is a guy who arranged a group buy on custom billet stub axles. I'm not sure if he had any left or if he can get more, but if you are interested, email me and I'll give you his contact info
