Nope, but the MW’s I ordered have a head.

I think you got your solution right there,I have sheared a Moser stud for no real reason, looked like they had cut threads instead of rolled,I decided to go away from Moser totally at that point and got axles,spool,bolts and misc. stuff from M/W,just put the stuff side by side and you will never look back!

I agree the Moser studs look like low grade stuff. I have Moser axles and spool also. So far so good on them. My car is a low hp U/S car so I thought the stuff would hold up.

A headless stud is dependent on the threaded fit between stud and hub for alignment. Lacking a head, the stud is going to pivot in the hub thread and be loaded/twisted along it's length as the wheel nut is torqued. Not hard to imagine what happens then. -Al

I have had this happen, a spacer between the wheel and the hub caused the studs to brake. I'm not sure from the pictures but, is there some kind of spacer on your hubs?

Granted I don't pay attention to what every company offers outside of my preferred sources, but I have never seen a headless stud offered for this application outside of the 5/8 drive studs using jamnuts of rear axles. Nor would I consider using them.

I don't want to bash anyone who supports racing, but that's a head scratcher.

I bought some Moser studs for my rear axels, and i was not impressed with the quality.
