Febi 01429 Wheel Stud

Description

This Febi wheel stud is a crucial component for securing wheels to a vehicle's hub. Used within the wheels and rims assembly, it ensures a strong and reliable connection. The high tensile strength grade of 10.9 guarantees exceptional durability and load-bearing capacity. This wheel stud, with MPN 01429, is manufactured in Germany and measures 122 x 125 x 195 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

These are basically the strong bolts that stick out from your wheel hub—that’s the center part of your wheel assembly. The lug nuts screw onto those studs to actually hold your wheel onto the car. They're threaded, so the nut grips securely. It’s a simple idea, but it has to be really strong and reliable. Think of them as a critical link between your wheel and the car itself. All the weight of your vehicle, plus any braking or turning forces, get transferred through these little guys. They're part of the suspension system, even if indirectly, because they keep everything securely connected and allow the wheels to rotate freely. Without them working right, your wheel isn’t going anywhere securely.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, a failing wheel stud is a big deal. You’ll notice if one starts to strip or break—you’ll probably hear a clicking or clunking sound, especially while driving or turning. More seriously, if a stud fails completely, your wheel can actually come loose while you’re driving, which is obviously dangerous. They’re constantly under stress, so they can corrode over time, or the threads can get damaged when lug nuts are over – tightened or improperly installed. It's a safety issue. Replacing them isn’t usually a huge job, and it's a lot cheaper than dealing with a wheel coming off. You can find a good selection of them at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s worth getting quality ones to make sure they last. Product information is provided for reference only.
