I bought NAPA drums and shoes from work (dicount). and a harware kit from o'reilys. I also got 16 lug studs.
My thought is this: If I had problems with one side's studs, I'm not going to trust the other's either.
Yes I bought 2 drums for the very same reason as Josh Bear stated.
Right side is done, tomorrow is the left side.
Even though the holes do not seem to be ovaled out, should I trust the rim of the tire that decided to jump off the truck and go rolling out on its own?
I had a rear wheel depart on me once. Lost all my lugs on the driver's side driving home from work one day. Pretty sure it was someone I was having a dispute with at the time had loosened them. I know I had torqued them with a torque wrench prior to. Thankfully I found it in the trees and no one got hurt. Anyway, threw the wheel back on with 2 lugs from each other wheel to get home. Bought all new nuts so they'd match, used same wheel. Never had an issue again. That was 2008. Ran same wheels till 2018.
