I wanted to know if anyone knew a solution for the lugnut rattle. Its the "faux" covers that are on the lugnuts(fwiw I _hate_ the lugnuts). If I hit a bump or a pothole, or if I'm driving offroad all I hear is jingle jingle jingle of my lugnuts. I was thinking about pulling them off, and filling the gap between the actual steel nut and the cover with super glue but I didnt know how well that'd hold up with a wrench on it tightening them back on. Any cheap solid lugnut options? | ||||||

They're certianly not loose. Each lugnut is torqued to 100 ft-lb. I believe the manual calls for 90ish. I'm not talking about the actual lug part that is threaded in. They have a metalic cap that rotates back/forth. Bend down and put your finger on the lugnut, and make an action like you're loosening the lugnut. It should move backward or forward about 5 degrees. Every single one of mine do this, maybe they're all old and broken, I'm not sure. Everyone says stock size is 27mm, but I have trouble fitting 28 mm socket on them, they seem swollen. I purchased a new lugnut after the air ratchet ate one of the old ones, and it just so happens to fit perfectly in a 27 mm socket. I dunno. | ||||||
