I have a 2013 Boss 302. Owned it since new. I track the car 10-15 days a year.
A group of guys I go to the track with all have Corvettes of various generations. We were talking and they said they replaced the front hubs on their 'vettes every year. Was at a track with a guy who had a Nissan GTR and his wheel decided to not go the same way as the rest of the car on a turn. The stud's on the front driver sheared off. Fortunately minimal damage and no injuries.
So I got to thinking maybe I should look at replacing the studs all the way around. Then got to wondering if I should replace the hubs at the same time.
My question is, is this something that you guys do on a regular basis? If so, how often?
I've looked at the studs and they are in great shape with no visible signs of wear. Front hubs look great and have no play in them.
