Doug,
I had minor parking brake stud interference on my car. I would hear a "ping"
every time I hit a bump. Once I figured out what it was, I replaced the nut
with a slim jam nut. Then, I cut the stud off flush with the jam nut. I
gained 1/4-3/8" I think. It was enough. I haven't heard the niose since.
I've not had any issues with u-joint clearance.
