Is There A Time Frame For When Wheel Studs Or Suspension Bolts Should Be Replaced
Question:
Hello I have a question regarding replacing the studs on a 2 axle trailer. Do you have a time frame for replacing all studs on both axles?

There really isn't a time frame for when the studs need to be replaced since wear and tear can differ depending on usage and climate. If you feel your studs are starting to look bad or the threads are tore up then you'll want to pop one out of the hub and take some measurements to determine the correct replacement. For example, part # 7-122 is 1/2" in diameter and has a 2" stud length.
If you're instead referring to the bolts for your suspension then the same rules apply. You'll measure for the length and diameter and check if you have standard bolts, like part # 166081, or shoulder bolts, like part # LC122102.
One we know the dimensions we can look up a compatible replacement.
