| Description of the problem | Caps keep falling off of the lug nuts, which exposes the studs of the wheel hub. Corrosion forms and causes the lug nut to be difficult to remove. Additionally, exposure of the stud can weaken the joint. I replaced two lug nuts yesterday, bringing the total to five in the past six months. |
