dumb question i think in reference to lug nuts

[VP_07SRT8]

So i had the new meats mounted and balanced today it took a bad vibration i had between 60-80 away when i got home ot check the tightening on the lug nuts 2 on the passenger rear and 2 on the passenger front spin when i try to tighten them so i tried to loosen them nothing happen... i tried to pull off the lug nuts with a needle nose pliers with no success.. any ideas?

Wait, what?

Are the actual lugs turning in the hub?

 

[VP_07SRT8]

yes i was checking to make sure everythign was tight and 4 of them spin... i tried to loosen them as well nothing... the nuts move i tried to grab them with a needle nose so now i guess i have ot drive normal

 

[wickedstangs]

sounds like they are striped..

 

[VP_07SRT8]

yeah im gonna order new stuff from LCR

 

[atlblue98gt]

def striped. If they were cross threaded it wouldnt spin and you would have to break them off. Or they could not be pressed in all the way. Idk. Never really had that happen.

Where did you have them mounted at? If by a shop, take it back and have them fix the screw up.

Yep the studs knurling in the hub are stripped if they will spin, probably cross threaded with an Impact then the knurling stripped in the hub. Looks like you'll be talking to them soon about this situation.

im gonna have to bite the bullet on this one because i dont speak italian

 

[HisPony]

WTF and spin a lug seems like it would work!

:kevboxings: then whammy

 

[VP_07SRT8]

yeah 2 on two tires did it. the others were fine it moved about inch most when tightening the other ones. and the 4 weird ones i would turn it sometimes it would seem to be hard then turn freely... i can wiggle them with the needle nose too but cant pull them off wtf
