Yes you are right. But these studs have already been helicoiled and I think=
the original stud circle was not well done at the factory and they are not p=
erfectly centered so some have negligible wall remaining around some of the c=
ircumference of the helicoil. =20
I may be able to get the holes all welded up, but maybe not. And then re-dr=
illing MIGHT be a problem because the original aluminum is the softest alloy=
I have ever seen. When drilling for new studs, the drill might try to cut e=
ccentrically into the softer aluminum rather than into the weld. =20
So I thought that starting with fresh trailing arms might be best. =20
