Just how bad are the  stud holes in the ones you have?
They=E2=80=99d have to be pretty bad to not be repairable - whatever trailin=
g arm goes back on the car should have keenserts or helicoils installed in t=
hose holes - so you=E2=80=99d be drilling out significantly larger holes - e=
specially if you fit larger studs and use keenserts (if I remember correctly=
, keenserts require a larger hole than helicoils)
Of course you would need this:
