| Description of the problem | Lug nuts expanding. Lug nut oem wrench size is 21mm. Lug nuts have expanded to 22mm and a little beyond. I understand oem lug nuts are a two piece design. I have some lug nuts that are "free spinning." meaning one of the pieces is loose from the other and just spins without the entire lug nut coming off the bolt. I have had one lug nut come off of tire. Up until today the factory and ford dealership are the only personal to touch my wheels. The dealer commended i purchase after market lug nuts to solve problem, which they are doing also. As of today my vehicle has approximately 44k miles on it. Earlier this year the dealer stated i keep an eye on the lug nuts because they were showing sign of expanding |
