[QUOTE="Afterimage, post: 282807, member: 7676"] On the other end of the good stud is it tacked on the strut mount or is it pressed in? If it's pressed in thread 2 nuts onto the good stud so the top nut is flush with the stud and hammer it out. Take the good stud to a nut/bolt place and see if they can match it up, even if they don't have the right thread pitch ALA it's the same length and diameter you can install them and get it back onto the car (get new nuts to go with the new studs if different thread pitch). BTW, 22 ft./lbs is not a lot of torque. On that fastener it's basically hand tight and with a socket/ratchet combo turn almost a 1/4 turn and you are good. No need to reef the crap out of it with a torque wrench. [/QUOTE]
