| Description of the problem | Malloy ford in winchester, va just notified me that they recommend that the next time the wheels are removed that all 24 of the lug nuts be replaced for $160. 00. I know from my previous 2009 ford f150 that the lug nuts are made in two pieces and that they corrode and expand and eventually the socket wrench will not fit the nut. Imagine having a flat tire on the highway and not being able to remove the wheel to change the tire. This has been an issue for a least eleven years and i believe longer. I had to replace the lug nuts on my 2009 f150. The tech told me that i should go online and find (non ford) one piece lug nut replacements because ford's design will only corrode again. Why is this still happening? |
