The Wheel Stud is a bolt by which the wheel is attached to the vehicle. The Wheel Stud is mounted through the brake drum or disc and stays fixed to the vehicle when a tire comes off. A series of lug nuts thread onto the stud to clamp the rim in place, which allows Ford vehicle owners to easily swap tires without dealing with loose bolts. Manufactured from steel or carbon steel, every Wheel Stud endures heat, road salt, and vibration. However, rust or stripped threads can occur and jeopardize wheel retention. The failure of one stud induces added stress in others, making prompt replacement essential. During the Pinto production run, the factory kept this stud system semi-permanent, not switching to integral hub units or detachable bolts. Year-to-year changes are only in length or thread pitch to suit different brake hardware, not the basic mechanism. All the Ford model years of the Pinto are still dependent on the Wheel Stud layout because Ford found it lighter and more economical. It is important to always check every Wheel Stud whenever brake service is performed on a Ford Pinto.
