FAQs

What vehicles is this Febi wheel bolt compatible with?

This wheel bolt is designed for BMW X5 (E53, F15) and X6 (F16) models. Always verify compatibility using OEM numbers or a vehicle-specific parts finder.

What is the correct tightening torque for these bolts?

The recommended tightening torque for this wheel bolt is 140 Nm.

What does the 'Conical Seat F' mean?

Conical Seat F refers to the shape of the bolt's shoulder that contacts the wheel. This taper ensures the wheel is centered correctly and securely mounted.

Can I use these bolts with aftermarket alloy wheels?

While designed for original equipment, compatibility with aftermarket wheels depends on the wheel's specific design and recess depth. Always confirm the seat type and length match your wheels' requirements.

How often should I check my wheel bolts?

It is recommended to check the tightness of wheel bolts periodically, especially after a wheel has been changed or after driving a short distance (approx. 50-100 miles) following installation.

What is the purpose of the Corrolube surface?

Corrolube is a surface treatment that provides enhanced protection against corrosion, helping to maintain the bolt's integrity and appearance over time.

Are these bolts sold individually or in a set?

This listing is for a single Febi Wheel Bolt. The product information indicates a 'Quantity Per Package: 20', suggesting they are often sold in larger quantities, but individual purchase is possible.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is difficult to thread by hand.

Remove the bolt and inspect the threads on both the bolt and the vehicle hub for damage or debris. Clean thoroughly before attempting to thread again. Never force a bolt that is not threading smoothly.

Wheel feels loose or vibrates after installation.

Immediately stop driving and check the tightening torque of all wheel bolts using a calibrated torque wrench. Ensure the correct torque of 140 Nm is applied in a star pattern. Inspect the wheel and hub for damage.

Bolt appears corroded or damaged.

Replace the damaged bolt immediately with a new one of the correct specification. Continued use of a damaged bolt can compromise safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check:

Before installation, it is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle. This bolt is designed for BMW X5 (E53, F15) and X6 (F16) models. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or consult a professional if unsure. The OEM numbers (36 13 0 301 317, 36 13 0 406 333, 36 13 6 771 035, 36 13 6 781 153) can be used for cross-referencing.

Installation:

  1. Ensure the wheel hub and the mating surface of the wheel are clean and free from debris.
  2. Thread the bolt in by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  3. Use a 17mm spanner to snug the bolt.
  4. Tighten the bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque (140 Nm) using a torque wrench. It is recommended to tighten bolts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
  5. If replacing multiple bolts, do so one at a time to keep the wheel properly seated.

Care:

The Corrolube surface treatment provides corrosion resistance. However, to maximize longevity:

  • Inspect bolts regularly for signs of damage, corrosion, or wear.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the surface coating.
  • If the bolts are removed, clean the threads on both the bolt and the hub before reinstallation.
  • Ensure correct tightening torque is maintained throughout the bolt's service life.
