[s-cars] Speaking of helicoils

[Trevor Frank]

Never, never use a helicoil for anything structural, expecially anything
that might take a bending moment.

One of the holes in my left rear hub is stripped...the lug bolt
spins freely.

Has anyone been successful using a helicoil in this application,
or do I need to replace the hub?

If the latter, what's the approximate cost of a rear hub for a
late model (C5) Audi?

Thanks,

Lee
