Default idea for upper deck ballstud breakages
cant you get some longer ball studs and put some big washers on the top and botton of the ball studs?

wouldnt think that would work cos it jsut rips straight out. doesnt even bend out sometimes. it just comes clean off.

cant you drill a hole in the shock tower and put the ball stud in there?

I don't think so, look at this photo. I think the geometry would be changed too much.

Not without compromising the intended geometry! I looked at these sort of things when I had the BJ4WE .... came to the conclusion to move on, but that's just my preference.
