If you keep breaking them, I would suggest installing some ARP studs.
Unfortunately, I vaguely remember what part numbers I used, but if you
look at their catalog, you will see several different flavors of the
1/2-20 threaded studs. I think the front kit 100-7703 (sold in sets)
is a Ford application and the rear 100-7705 is the Chrysler p/n. You
might have to do some light drilling or die grinding to fit the size
of the 'knurl' into the hub/flanges. Grab a caliper and double check
that my part numbers are the closest ones to the factory studs on the
knurled part of the stud. You'll need a light pressfit for these to
work. Good Luck!
