Some things I go OE on......just because. Usually alot more $$$, but have BTDT too many times.
If those were a Moog brand, and you spoke directly to their engineering team, they would have been 3x as long with a different thread altogether, and packaged as a "direct OE replacement kit".
I have five 12 packs in the fridge, and a half case of Russian spiced rum on hand....and I still dont think its enough.

Bummer dude!
How many are broke? Usually the big Napa stores have a decent stock of parts like this.

Bummer... Looks like a rear stud.
Should be a common part stocked at the parts house, another resource is larger tire shops that do brakes and suspension work. The tire shop I worked at stocked tons of wheel studs rather than counting on parts stores to have the ones we needed in stock.
Or just re-use the ones you got

It's bummer, but just one of the many reasons I don't buy from Rock anymore. Now try to return those. You'll spend more in shipping both directions than you'll get back..... Sorry about that though.

All new for me Sarge! I didn't get this deep in and not replace everything 35 years old. Well, almost everything.

OMG if it was for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. On a good note...your hubs look good...
Save those new studs for when you do the rear brakes, because that's what they are for.

Holy smokes this never ends. Got the new studs and they are identical to the old studs. Got them almost all the way seated, but they are still not snugging down. I don't have enough ass to get them down. I have to be doing something wrong. It can't be this hard. They just won't seat tight. I should have done already, and I'm toast.

Air hammer or press. Can also use a stud installer and the lug nut to assist. Use lubricant on threads with a stud installer. I have also used grease on the stud where the knurls are if they are unusually tight.

Press is how I do it. Gave up on hammering them in a long time ago.
Washers, a lug nut and an impact work too in a pinch lol.
