Message	I've applied antisieze to every stud on every vehicle I've ever owned and never had a problem and never a broken stud. When I purchased my z and drove it home the brake pedal pulsed like crazy on a moderately hard stop. First thing I did when I got home was remove each wheel, lube the stud and retorque the nuts. It pulsed less and less each time I drove it and not at all now. Since then I've had the wheels off several times for various mtx and still no more pulsing.
