Race Grade Hex Ball Studs Optimised by 3Racing

The 3Racing 7075 Aluminum 5.8MM Hex Ball Studs are produced from high tensile 7075 alloy to reduce deformation under repeated load cycles. Their PTFE coating minimises friction at the ball interface, helping maintain predictable movement in aggressive steering and suspension inputs.

Fitment and Tuning Considerations

These studs fit standard 5.8MM mounting points and can be used to fine tune joint feel. For race setups, verify ball cup tolerances and use the correct torque and a light threadlocker where required to prevent loosening without impeding serviceability.

Application Notes for Competitors

Ideally suited to drivers who prioritise crisp response and low stiction, these studs offer a balance of strength and low mass for competitive classes. Keep joints clean and inspect the PTFE finish regularly to ensure consistent race day performance.

Should I match these studs to specific ball cup materials?

Match the stud finish with ball cup material to minimise wear; PTFE on metal studs performs well with nylon or delrin cups but confirm fitment to avoid excess play.

Any special break in routine recommended?

A brief run in with progressive loads will seat the PTFE surface and reveal any abnormal play; recheck tightness and joint freedom after the initial session.

Do they affect unsprung weight significantly?

7075 aluminium gives a lightweight alternative to harder steels, which can slightly reduce unsprung mass and influence handling; test changes within your tune workflow.
