Bought some 5 lug spindles put in all new studs 3 don't w t to hold in tight I heard you can weld them from the back.
Any body do this? How reliable is it? And what type of weld would it be ~ tig, mig? etc....
Thanks cafords

It's the knurled area on the hub that's smooth and instead of replacing the whole hub or what have you I have heard this is acceptable
