You are not supposed to bottom the studs out. Only install the studs into the top of the knuckle by hand. Leave a 16th of slack or so from tight. They are supposed to be in tension, but not torqued into the knuckle. The non-threaded portion is so that the high steer arm and stud have a tighter fit than if it were just threaded all the way.

maybe i'm missing something here, but it appears that all of the non-threaded portion of the stud will be concealed by the knuckle. If your reasoning was correct, shouldn't the non-threaded portion be more in the center of the stud?Originally Posted by Fredo
Here is an earlier pic that shows a comparison.
