My daughter is driving a 2002 Outback (277k), and lives in a small Colorado mountain town with dirt roads. On a trip to Denver in July they noticed noise and thumping, and discovered 2 lug nuts gone from one wheel, and a couple loose on another wheel. Today she called because on one rear wheel she found loose lug nuts twice in 3 days - 2 to 3 lug nuts each time. It is obviously dangerous. First question - anybody run into this before? This is our 6th Subaru (I bought it before our daughter got it) and I have not seen this as a recurring problem. Second question - what is the proper way to tighten the lug nuts? She has a T shaped lug wrench, but not a torque wrench. Can the car be sitting full weight on the ground while tightening ? When working on cars, I usually tighten them with just enough weight on the tire to keep it from spinning around (using a jack or hoist). It is possible some vandal is doing this, but that is unlikely for a small town school teacher -- but you never know. Thanks people, look forward to your ideas. Craig -
Hi all, I just bought a set of Peugeot Steel wheels. I do not have the lug nuts though. I have been searching everywhere, but cannot find the answer to my question. . . . Do the stock (I have steel rims...) subaru lug nuts work with the STEEL Peugeot wheels? I see plenty of posts telling folks that they do not work with the alloys,....Yes, plenty of options for the alloys since they're being replicated by "4x4brat". Again, what lugnuts are appropriate for the STEEL rims? Many times, i have been sent to this webpage: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/46773-official-alloy-pug-lug-nut-thread/ Someone actually asked about the steelies, but was ignored. HElp??
