Locking Wheel Nuts

This is a bit of an unplanned upgrade to be honest.

My Jeep has just undergone a pretty major brake overhaul and something else cropped up. :rolleyes:

The mechanics at the garage told me to change my locking nuts ASAP as the design of them is flawed.

The ones on it now use a three hole system. The socket has three little nipples which fit into these holes. Now, the guys said if you side load the socket these nipples can break off and then your basically screwed - hence why they recommend getting new ones.

So, my question is what are the best ones to go for OR should I just leave them be?

Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:

That's the name I was trying to remember, thanks Scott!

Do you know which style I need to go for (Cone, Shank, Bolt, Dually)? I've never removed them so I don't know. :eek:

Awesome thanks Rob, I'll get the tape out and determine the size I need tomorrow.

I'll need to skip the lug nuts for now, wallets still recovering from the brake work. :(

Basically yes to your question.

The locking nuts come in packs of 4 - one per corner.

You'd fit four of the regular black lug nuts that come with the reps and then one locking nut to each wheel. :thumbsup:
