The onus would be on the installer to apply liquid thread locker to the section of threads that installed in the hub, but what if the installer didin't have any thread locker and instead decided to just give the studs another good turn to secure them? They are hideous things and I'm amazed they haven't been outlawed. Incidently, Mr. Lugnut used to sell these types of studs and possibly still does.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

Well, whilst most people call them a stud (myself included) technically, they are a bolt as they have a head on one end. A proper stud is threaded each end and screws into a tapped hole. Originally Posted by Yonnee

I asked the question because I'm not familiar with every vehicle and there could well be some that use a proper stud.

OK, I'll stand corrected. Originally Posted by bollie7

The proper technical definition of a bolt is "a threaded fastener with a head, designed to be used with a nut", and yet most of the Automotive industry (including the Trailer & Caravan industry) calls them wheel studs.

Try searching "Nice Products"
They have an on-line catalogue of wheel nuts and studs (bolts if you must).
Plenty of vehicles still use a "wheel bolt" to hold the wheel on. BMW and Mercedes do and it wouldn't surprise me if VW & Audi (one and the same) do as well.
