Perhaps a thread sealant could be used on these bolts??
Aha, thanks!

That is the real problem here. The factory studs have a thread sealant on them. When I removed the diff to do an elocker swap, I removed the studs and did not properly seal them when I reassembled. It has been leaking ever since (2007?).
Dawa,
I have yet to see a complete failure of wheel studs on these vehicles. If you are missing some, or feel they may have been damaged, it is pretty cheap preventative maintainence. Otherwise, it is not necessary.
The lower ball joint and 4 bolts connecting it to the steering knuckle, those fail all the time and should probably be inspected and replaced, especially the bolts, as they are very often over torqued.

Hmm...must be user error. My elocker diff studs are bone dry after 10+ years! Now where's that flipoff icon...

Lol I remember seeing pictures of those I think.
No we are talking about the 3rd member. It's the pumpkin in the middle. It doesn't pull out but over time it will tend to seep a little oil unless the seal is perfect.
Many things break before wheel studs thank goodness.
