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.
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?
well they already came with black lugs for free normally 30 bucks. I dont understand how the locks work. So since I have lugs already all I need are locks?
or are you saying I only need one 4 pack of mcgard locks and only put one on each tire and the rest regular lugs that I got for free??? can someone answer this asap because Im going to try to order them today thanks guys
I wish someone made chromoly locking nuts! my brothers XJ needed a flat tire fixed and those cheap looking nuts broke and the only way to remove it was with a plasma torch!
