So i just got done rechanging my studs. First set of studs stripped so i got another pair and welded them on so no problems in the future. (i have a spare set so i can change back whenever i want). i also have 15mm spacers up front. All the wheels are torqued down to 120lbs flush against the rotor. But sometimes i hear a creeking noise, like slow turns and moving slowly, thats really the only way to describe it, maybe similar to a large old rusty spring being compressed, i duno how to describe it. Anyone know what it could be?

I've never tq'd my wheels down that much.. Thats number 1.. Number 2, why would you weld the studs in? When does the noise happen to be more specific?

welded the studs to avoid them from stripping the hub like my last set.

happpens when backing out of driveways sometimes annd parking lots. I dont notice it when driving normal.
