>My TR4A has some stripped threads where the hub attachment studs enter the
trailing arms. I felt okay when it was only one stud, but now that the
number
is up to 3, I figured I better do something. I have on hand a thread
repair
kit that's some sort of compound that gets squirted into the stud hole.
I've
never used this product before, or helicoils for that matter. What's the
best
route? And can the operation be done without removing the trailing arm
from
the car?

John, check with your local auto parts store for some studs that are
5/16-24 on one end and 3/8-16 on the other and retap the holes. (coarse
theads work better in aluminium)
