Those studs always pull out of the trailing arm. You have to helicoil the
trailing armif the threads come out too (methinks it's 5/16-24) before
reinstalling the studs. Clean them up real well and use the double nut method
and use bearing lock or locktite to avoid future problems. It's not hard to
use helicoils, especially in aluminum.
