When one owns a car, one must learn all the ins and outs of its components and maintenance. Things related to car wheel components are no exception. One thing that seems trivial is the nut on the car wheel. However, there are actually some important tips related to car wheel nuts.
You must know the main function of a car lug nut, which serves as a lock between the wheel and the hub.
Wheel nuts on cars come in various shapes and head sizes.
Wheel nuts will often need to be unscrewed, such as when changing tires, disassembling legs, and braking repairs.
However, unfortunately, it is still common to find car lug nuts that have sockets on the head and thread.
These sagging wheel nuts can occur due to two reasons, namely the use of an improperly fitting key and incorrect tightening.
The use of a wheel lock that is not the right size or a damaged wheel lock makes the hexagon part of the wheel nut damaged.
When reopening the lug nuts, it becomes difficult.
Therefore, it is actually very important for you to always pay attention to the condition of the wheel locks.
You have to be careful when tightening the wheel because tightening it too much can make the threaded part of the lug nut sag quickly.
Over-tightening the lug nut thread can make it soggy and unusable.
So it would be better to use a torque wrench for more accurate tightening.
