Hi..
im having an unusual problem...

First off it happens at random times...
but im driving nd den all of a sudden i hear some sort of knocking on my wheels or somethin...

i eventually discovered that it was my lug nut that got loose....

so ive been driving around now 4 weeks or so.. nd now i have to same problem again

on the other side.... is it jus that i didnt tightenem down? or that someone loosened them by bein a jackass? i onoo cause it keeps getting loose.

Thanks

 

Are you getting them tight enought??? Are any of them stripped, or are the wheels damaged from driving with the loose lugs

 

If you want to fix this for sure.
1. take off your wheels, make sure the studs are ok
2. Put wheels back on and tighten lug nuts
3. Drive for say 100 miles, recheck lugs.

Also make sure your wheels are ok and also your lugs/lugnuts. GL.

 

what type of rims? stock or aftermarket? you using the specified lugs?

 

Im using aftermarket RS rims 15 inches...
im using the aftermarket lugs that are longer nd thinner.... nd i am torquing em down to 80lbs
nd they arent stripped i dont believe.

are they conical?

 

wutz conical?

 

check your lugnuts before you start driving everyday (pain in the ***, but do it)
then check them again after your done driving

this way you can see exactly when they are coming loose.
might have bad studs....or poorly fitting lugnuts....or someone is messing with you

 

I'm guessing someone is messing with you because if the lug nuts are fastened even close to decently and the threads are good, then this problem wouldn't happen. Do you park your car outside? Ever thought about a hidden camera?

 

uhh i park it outside but wun time when i was driving to san meteo or wutever it wasnt making that sound till lyke half way of the trip... or mebe it started after i picked up my gf at her house. mebe someone is messin wit me... how fed but my lug nots need a key to loosen. so im lost...

 

by the way its only lyke 1 or 2 lug nuts that are loose.. not all 4.
