Just how bad are the  stud holes in the ones you have?=20
They=E2=80=99d have to be pretty bad to not be repairable - whatever =
trailing arm goes back on the car should have keenserts or helicoils =
installed in those holes - so you=E2=80=99d be drilling out =
significantly larger holes - especially if you fit larger studs and use =
keenserts (if I remember correctly, keenserts require a larger hole than =
helicoils)
Of course you would need this:
