Consumer Description

3 OUT OF 5 LUGS ON ONE WHEEL SHEARED OFF WHEN REPLACING TIRE. MECHANIC CLAIMS TO HAVE USED TORQUE WRENCH SET WELL BELOW FACTORY SPECS. NOT CLEAR WHETHER LUGS ARE DEFECTIVE OR MECHANIC OVER-TORQUED. LUG NUTS ARE DESIGNED FOR MAG WHEELS BUT SPARE IS NOT A MAG. APPEARS POSSIBLE THAT USING THESE NUTS ON A STANDARD WHEEL RESULTS IN NUTS BEING SWAGED ONTO THE LUGS SUCH THAT THEY SUBSEQUENTLY FAIL. MEACHANIC REPORTS THAT THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH ON THIS VEHICLE AND MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY ON SIMILARLY DESIGNED ISUZU LUG NUT.*AK
