    Hi, i have just bought front shocks and springs for my car, however the nex shocks are fitted with 3 stud wheel bearings, what will be involved in converting my rear to 4 stud as it is currently 3 stud ??

    Any help will be appreciated

    ok?

    why do you want to change to 4 stud if you've just bought some with 3?

    You have mis understood me, i currently have 3 stud all around. i have just bought new struts / springs / bearings and they are 4 stud. When i fit these to my car the front will be 4 stud and the rear will be 3 stud so i will have odd wheels
