Good info.

You mean to say the threads on the original ballstuds are too long, and the remedy would simply be to get ballstuds with shorter threads?

Thanks!

Yes. On the normal FT kit they go through the shock towers in to a locknut. They are 8mm long. The WC bearing caps are about 3.5mm thick, so even a 5mm ballstud is going to be slightly too long, that's why I got 3.25mm ballstuds coming (made a mistake in my original post, AE doesn't show 3.5mm ballstuds, so 3.25mm is a better choice):

You can see in the last picture the issue, the 8mm ballstuds are far too long.
