Lug nuts falling off!

thresher90 · 03-27-2007, 06:28 PM

I have a 97 GP GT and noticed the other day that a lug nut fell off the front right wheel. so I bought a new one and put it on. Then ,not two days later a different lug nut fell off the same wheel.

Any one else have this problem?

Tell me that you re-tightened all of the other lugs after you put the new one on!

^^^lol... my first thoughts exactly...at least at that rate he will have all new lugs soon....

Yeah, I agree it might help to properly torque the lug nuts. 100 ft-lbs.

OH...I like that chart, Thanks BNAYLOR!

Thats a good one.

It is stripped or the wrong size? How are the threads on the wheel studs?

Lol, this thread is a good laugh. Never the less a serious problem though. If they are the right size nuts they should definately not be just coming off. Like bnaylor said how are the threads and are they the right size?
