Help with Brake Rotor Change. 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Toddlie on  Wed Jun 7 01:11 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I have put off the inevitable. My rotors are worn. When I hit the brakes lightly, everything is fine. As I gradually put more & more pressure on the brakes, it feels like they will disintegrate. They only have 195,000 niles on them, cannot believe they did not last longer.

I bought the ATE Power Discs, both front and rear from Groton. I was asking about wheel studs and they told me they sold "Scan-Tech". I politely turned them down.

My question is this. Should I replace ALL of the wheel studs and lug nuts or just reuse the old ones? I have noticed in the past that if I don't use Permatex Anti-Seize, the studs seem to get stripped. I was going to replace the wheel studs and lug nut with Volvo brand, until I saw the price. The wheel studs are $9.51 each. That's a total of $190.20 just for the studs, not to mention the lug nuts.

I have used wheel studs and lug nuts from Autozone (made by Dorman) with no problem. Is there really that much difference between the one's that are carried by Autozone and the one's carried by Volvo?


Thanks in advance.

Todd :-)
