Wheel nuts are designed to attach wheels to the hub. It is a threaded fastener with six points whose shape ensures a tight fit of the wheel. For each wheel, manufacturers use from four to ten of such elements in combination with screw-in studs or press-in studs.
6 tips on how to use and replace them
- Pay your attention to the fact that their service life is not specified. They have to be replaced when it is necessary.
- Make sure that the fasteners are securely fixed every time you change tyres: if it is necessary, tighten them. The frequency of this procedure depends on the vehicle operating conditions, state of its systems, and the material of wheel rims.
- Only use those wheel nuts that have the appropriate size and handedness of the thread.
- Please remember that steel and alloy wheels require fasteners of different kinds. As a rule, conical, radius or flat nuts of an open end type are suitable for steel wheel rims, while radius nuts of a closed end type should be used for alloy rims.
- Mind the tightening torque recommended by the car manufacturer. It depends on the type of fasteners, vehicle design, and is specified in the technical documentation of the vehicle.
- Tighten the parts in the specified order. Use a torque wrench.
Failures of wheel nuts, their causes and symptoms
- Deformation and cracks. They can be a result of high mechanical loads or running over an obstacle. This damage might also be caused by incorrect tightening torque. Free play and disintegration of the parts can be seen on examination.
- Corrosion damage. It occurs when a vehicle is used in conditions of high humidity for a long time. Corrosion spots can be seen when the unit is inspected.
- Worn out thread. As a rule, that is the result of overtightening the fasteners. As a result, free play occurs which can be noticed on examination.
