Consumer Description

THE THREAD ON THE WHEEL STUDS GETS SHREDDED, DUE TO CORROSION. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE CROWN COVERS, WHICH ALLOWS MOISTURE AND ROAD SALT TO GET INTO THE THREAD, AND SEIZE UP THE LUG NUTS. CONSEQUENTLY WHEN THE TIRES ARE REMOVED OR ROTATED THE THREAD STRIPS, PER AN ENGINEER.*AK
