Why are my nuts coming off and what can I do to stop it from happening? Finished a nice peppy run in to work (read: speeding wildly down a twisty road) and as I pull into the parking lot I hear <PING> and see the chrome cap flying off one of my front lugnuts. I take a look and I've lost one off the rear as well. Whats up with that? Anyone else had this problem?

I had the same problem, Dont know what caused it issed:

What'd you do to stick the stupid chrome caps back on?

 

[NOITALL]

Hell Serious, why don't you lose those nut-lacking alumiminim wheels and slap on some of those flat black donut spares? Cut your springs while you're at it - you'll be pimpin' the circuit like no other Bumblebee can!

For extra ladies points, wear the CAT.

Hell, I ran my GTO with only 3 nuts for months at a time :nuts:

The Viper's stock nuts are total POS. I have a set of CNC machined SS nuts on my Viper, complete with the Sneaky Pete emblem. You can't beat em.

Pricey I suppose, but worth it, especially for the track.

I heard that installing larger nuts keeps your stuff on nice and tight . . . so tight in fact that you can jiggle them around and they stay on, no matter what.

I never had any problem with my lugnuts, but you might take this opportunity to add a set of lugnut locks.

Good idea.

I've only lost about 20 or so, BIG attrition rate at the track with all the torquing. Archer has a solid one for like $2 per nut x 24 = $48, not bad. A little secret, it is the same lugnut as to a '01 Jeep GC only the Jeep nut is cheaper.

BTW, don't put it back on.

[FUSCUCLA1]

[E-Slab]

Thanks SoCal. I figured it probably had something to do with hard driving. It's just strange they waited til now to start popping off.

Either you aren't torqueing them often enough or I drive like an old lady. I have never had a problem with my nuts.

Serious....its time to get HRE's

that is all.

Serious is never gonna part with his salad bowls.
