Help...Wheels Keep Loosening

OcOnnor220 · September 3rd, 2007, 08:03 PM

My 2001 GT has a weird problem, the lugnuts are constantly coming loose. Today I noticed that my right front wheel is dangerously loose, 3 of 4 lugnuts are loose and the fifth is GONE!!! These lugnuts are brand new, each wheel has a wheel lock on which brings me to my next point...Since I put my big brake kit on the front, I have'nt had a wheel alignment...Could it be wear and tear thats loosening the nuts? Or could it be someone was trying to steal those brakes? Ive had lugnuts come loose before but Ive never LOST one, and these are NEW. Any ideas? I didnt see any other signs of tampering does this sound normal?

No I would not think this is a normal problem, mine do not ever come loose maybe you should invest in a better car alarm and just to be safe maybe place some anti seize compound on all the threads that stuff is thick and will keep the nuts tighter on the threads so they don’t just vibrate or rattle loose

Safari is so slow compared to Firefox. Try it, it's free.

Did you make sure your wheels were properly torqued and retorqued after 50 miles? if not they could loosen.
