wheel nuts
Hi all i wonder if anyone could tell me if there is a fault with Xc 90 wheel nuts ??
As i had one snap on me yesterday!!! the tyre fitter who is a friend and i trust!!! said that it looks like the last tyre fitter has Cross threaded it when i had 2 new Continentals fitted by the Garage when i bought it only covering 4,000 miles and up for sale on ebay. I had 4 Pirelli Scorpions fitted for the price of 2 Continentals... can anyone enligthen me ??? |

wheel nuts
hi,
i recently replaced all the wheel nuts on my xc90 with chrome ones from ebay and they were great but as i replaced them one at a time two of the original nuts on the n/s front wheel were so tight that i actually split the socket right down one side undoing one of them and i,ve never done that before.now it just so happens that i had 2 pirelli,s fitted to the car a couple of month ago and i wondered if the fitter had tightened them up to much but it was only 2 out of 20 so i dont know.i,ve also found in the past that even if you apply grease when replacing them,steel nuts can oxydise against alloy wheels. |
