Marc, is your 87 still grease? I thought they would have had oil by then?
I changed all my outer wheel studs and nuts also. CHEAP!!
E5977L nut, outer dual .95
E5977R nut, outer dual .95
E5978L cap nut 3.50
E5978R cap nut 3.50
Total $108.00 CDN
In stock and very common
IMHO another must do upgrade
A tip for torquing left hand nuts, take the two screws out of the head of the torque wrench and flip the driver around (the part the socket goes on) worked like a charm.
I also marked all the nuts with a paint pen so I can visually see if they move at all.
