Troubleshooting
Wheel nut does not thread easily onto the stud.
Stop immediately. Check for cross-threading by backing the nut off and re-aligning it straight with the stud. Inspect the stud and the nut threads for any damage or debris. If damaged, replace the stud or nut.
Difficulty in tightening the wheel nut to the correct torque.
Ensure you are using the correct socket size (21mm) and a properly calibrated torque wrench. Verify that the wheel hub and stud are clean and free of obstructions. If the nut spins freely without tightening, the stud threads may be stripped.
Visible rust or corrosion after a short period.
While designed for corrosion resistance, extreme conditions can still affect finishes. Ensure the nuts were installed correctly and not subjected to excessive abrasive cleaning. Contact Dorman customer support if premature failure is suspected.
